Residents of Garryowen in Limerick city are afraid the antisocial behaviour they have seen over the past two weeks is moving towards a “powder keg” situation as teens continue to burn bins, furniture, and trees.

Gardaí and the fire service have been called out to the Limerick city estate nearly every night over the past 14 days as youths continue to start fires and post videos of the vandalism on social media, such as TikTok, according to the terrified residents.
