The most dangerous street in the country: O’Connell St, Dublin

DUBLIN’S O’Connell Street is the most dangerous in the country, according to a report on public order offences to be published today.

Over 60 people are prosecuted every month for fighting, drunkenness and other offences on the capital’s main thoroughfare.

Of the 18 roughest streets surveyed over a two-year period, the National Crime Council-commissioned report found a quarter of all offences, or two a night, happened on Dublin’s main street.
