A new forum is to be set up in Co Cork before the end of the year to focus on addressing rural crimewaves, including anti-social behaviour and speeding.

It will include community representatives, gardaí, council officials, and councillors, and one hot topic ahead of its foundation is an urgent call to deal with anti-social behaviour running out of control in the county’s largest town.
