Harbour Court closure should be a 'short-term plan' in tackling drug-use

Dublin City Council has confirmed that a request to"extinguish the right of way" at Harbour Court has been submitted by local property owners.

"I walk past laneways all the time that smell like a public toilet because we don't have appropriate toilet facilities that are 24/7 in this city."Independent Councillor Cieran Perry said public laneways are a"difficult subject"."We shouldn't have to close public spaces to deal with antisocial behaviour – as a society we should be able to tackle that through high-visibility policing.

"In some other laneways, Dublin City Council are speaking to the business owners and they are interested in doing that and that pilot will be run later this year or early next year," he said. "It is dangerous, like most capital cities, but not extremely dangerous, but the perception is that it is and that's dissuading people from coming into the city who have lived in the city all their life, and that's something that just cannot continue."Cllr O'Driscoll said"pro-social" activities will counteract antisocial behaviour.
