This issue has been brewing for years and seems to only now been talked properly about.
The justice system here needs huge reform. More Garda patrols, tougher sentences for repeat offender, better systems in place for juvenile offenders. It might not be politically palatable to spend billions on new prisons, but at the very least we should be looking at being more selective on who ends up in prison
Bit rich coming from a man who represents one the most violent societies in the western hemisphere
Sounds like generic advice they’d give for any country.
It’d be great if the Gardai actually did something when you report a crime to them. They seem pathologically unwilling to lift a fucking finger to actually do their jobs. Until there are protests. Then they’re all gung-ho.
It’s mental that you could pick anyone off the street 10 years ago and ask them what problems ireland has that they think we should get a handle on and most people would’ve said anti-social behaviour, housing and health and the government do nothing. These aren’t surprises, they’ve been brewing for years.

This is the guidance they are giving to Americans. Edit: add URL [https://ie.usembassy.gov/security-alert-u-s-embassy-dublin-ireland/](https://ie.usembassy.gov/security-alert-u-s-embassy-dublin-ireland/)

The yanks need to send in Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin along with the rest of the delta force and take out the feral little shits.
