A man who took part in a violent attack on a car containing four children including a toddler has received a six-year jail term with the last 18 months suspended.

THE reasons why antisocial behaviour order costs are so high can be illustrated with an examination of the €50,000-worth of damage caused to a single home last year.

UP to €750,000 will be spent this year by Dublin City Council on repairing properties “destroyed and trashed” by tenants evicted on antisocial grounds.

A teenager charged with violent disorder during riots which broke out in Finglas in Dublin on St Patrick’s Day was further remanded on bail by the Children’s Court today.
