The people of Dublin’s north east inner city have “suffered more than most” from the “ravages” of gangland, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said at the reopening of a garda station in the area.

The police chief said the new Fitzgibbon Street Garda Station now provided a range of special services to victims of crime, including children and vulnerable people, as well an adjoining section where community groups could hold meetings.
