Crime & Violence

Supports Congolese community’s call for an independent inquiry

Cllr Conor Reddy: Violence Spreads, But It Can Be Interrupted - Ballymun Needs a Public Health Approach to Violence

“For too long, communities like Ballymun and many others have experienced violence while lacking sustained investment in prevention, healing and evidence-based intervention. We have expected communities to absorb trauma without the structures needed to interrupt the cycles that cause that harm."

Cllr Conor Reddy: Ballymun Gun Incident Must be a Turning Point

"Government has not provided the investment required... you can’t police your way to safety. Real and lasting safety comes from investment in the services, supports and opportunities that break the cycles driving crime and violence in the first place."
