Anti-social behaviour has become a pressing issue in towns and cities across Ireland, with retailers, commuters and public transport operators all reporting disruptive and sometimes violent incidents.


Gangs of children – including girls as young as ten-years-old – are causing "absolute chaos" by abusing staff, shoplifting and trashing shops, several retailers told Prime Time.

"We've seen an awful lot of 10 to 12-year-olds coming in wreaking havoc. They invade the shop in gangs of five to seven," said Limerick shop-owner Geraldine Kearney describing a recent incident in her shop.

"They danced on our counters. They trashed the place, turned on ice cream machines [to pour over the floor]."

I wonder whats changed............
