New programmes for young offenders engaged in violent crime are among 50 actions in a new plan to tackle antisocial behaviour and crime such as drug dealing in Dublin’s north inner city.

The plan is being published after a spate of high-profile attacks in the area, including the assault of American visitor Stephen Termini.
