Traders have hit out at the rise in anti social behaviour and open drug taking in Cork city
The City Council has written to the Justice Minister appealing for more gardai and resources in Cork to tackle rising street crime and drug use
Business owners says the anti social behaviour needs to be stamped out before it starts impacting on trade
Speaking to RedFM News, Helen O’Callaghan from The English Market’s Meat Centre says staff are constantly on high alert for anti-social behaviour:
"Oh on the ground every day, it's just every second or third day we have to call security because of someone passing out, somebody who is trying to rob. You have to be on your toes all evening, every evening. I don't know, the Grand Parade is just very bad at the moment."
