Greens ‘not tackling’ antisocial behaviour

A FORMER Green Party city councillor has strongly attacked the party for failing to introduce stronger legislation to stamp out the ongoing problem of antisocial behaviour in local authority estates.

Cork City councillor Chris O’Leary, who grew to national prominence when his own home was petrol-bombed, said he believes tenants should be given homes on a “probationary basis” if they have a history of questionable behaviour.

Cllr O’Leary said that he has become the first port of call for tenants around the country who have given up on their local authority or the gardaí being able to stop incessant partying, drug-dealing and late-night nuisance-making that is making their lives hell.
