Proposal to shut Swan Alley to curb antisocial behaviour
We all know the ones, the laneways that you would be afraid to walk down at any time of the day or night...
Well, this afternoon, Dublin Councillors will be meeting to put forward a vote to close Swan Alley, which is just off Thomas Street in the Liberties, Dublin 8.
The small alleyway has been earmarked due to illegal drug taking and antisocial behaviour, and follows a similar move to gate off Harbour Court just off Abbey Street in Dublin City centre last year.
Labour Councillor for the area, Darragh Moriarty joins Seán to discuss.
