Councillor calls for 'internment-style powers' for Gardaí dealing with young thugs

Fianna Fáil councillor Tim Brosnan also called for a change in legislation that would allow local authority managers to evict so-called tenants from hell on the word of a Garda superintendent.
Mr Brosnan was speaking as he told Cork City Council that the atmosphere of fear created by “bullyboys” in some estates in Mayfield was “no different to Derry during the worst of the Troubles”.
