Killing spurs calls to tackle knife culture

YOUNG people need to find other ways of resolving rows rather than using knives, a youth worker and local politician said yesterday.

The call followed the murder of a 19-year-old male in a stabbing incident in Ballyfermot, south-west Dublin, on Tuesday night.

Gavin Weldon, from Raheen Park, Ballyfermot, received fatal knife injuries during a row among a group of youths outside an off-licence.
