Close circuit television coverage of young men fighting at the Ballinakill Shopping Centre has highlighted the persisting anti-social problems being caused by young males in the area.
The stills, seen by this newspaper last week, have underlined the intimidating and at times violent atmosphere that has become increasingly prevalent at the Centre, located just off the Dunmore Road.
It’s worth noting that innocent youths have been ‘caught in the crossfire’ during some of the recent goings-on at the Centre, leaving several shaken and upset by the intimidation they too have suffered from.
Residents in several estates across the city have grown increasingly vocal regarding the torment they’re experiencing due to incidences of anti-social behaviour, which have escalated during the school holidays.
Fianna Fáil City Councillor Gary Wyse, who is currently dealing with anti-social difficulties in five different estates, has declared that enough is enough.

What does that mean “enough is enough”
So far I have not seen any improvement in the way teenagers carry on and just for a point of fact its not just the males that are anti social but the so-called females as well.
What about the young spainish girl who was attacked by waterford females.
Lets face it no point in saying males are the problem when you see girls doing the same thing if not worse.
Forget about passive restraint let the gardai loose on these youths and we might all get some sleep.
pensioners are scared to go out in the night, but now due to summer holidays they cant walk outside there own door during the day.
Lets stop talking about it and do something teenagers are not scared because there is nothing to be scared about lets change that once and for all.
