Garda calls for State help to combat anti-social behaviour

A SENIOR garda has claimed his force’s resources are so “finite” that they will need the help of communities and Government agencies to combat the growing trend in anti-social behaviour.

Chief Superintendent Kevin Ludlow was speaking in the wake of an RTÉ Prime Time Investigates programme on anti-social behaviour that highlighted problems in Cork estates.

He said gardaí were working with the resources they have, but parents must take more responsibility for their children.
