A torrent of anti-social behaviour, racism, drug-dealing and violence is making life hell for residents of one Limerick City estate.

When it was built Johnsgate Village was one of the most sought after locations in the city. However, in recent years, the area has seen an influx of crime and anti-social behaviour.
