Deprivation, crime, and migration fuelling 'community trauma' in Dublin's inner city, study finds

Organisers of the Dublin riots 'have largely been found not to be members of the community in which it took place', study found.

Long-term deprivation, crime and violence as well as migration have fuelled “community trauma” in Dublin’s north-east inner city, according to a new study.

The research, conducted by community drug project Chrysalis, said an-ever increasing number of “already traumatised” asylum seekers and international protection applicants were being housed in a community with “existing and historic levels of trauma”.
