‘Neighbours from hell’ are pushing residents out of estates

Neighbours from hell are using fellow tenants’ doorsteps and children’s playgrounds as toilets, waking people with all-night parties, and driving dangerously in council estates.

Cork county councillors are demanding more be done to combat the scourge of anti-social behaviour in their estates.

The issue was raised by Social Democrats councillor June Murphy, who requested that the local authority form a specialised sub-committee, interlinked with relevant departments and outside bodies to deal with serious or ongoing antisocial behaviour in council estates.
