Fifth family flees troubled council estate

ANOTHER family has fled a Limerick estate plagued by troublemaker residents, bringing to five the number of families which have moved out since the beginning of the year.

People say life at Fairview Crescent, Garryowen has become a living hell and up to 20 families have moved out since it was opened 15 years ago.

One resident said: “We are prisoners in our own homes. We live in fear.”
