#521 Would a Curfew Make Dublin Safer?

On today’s show, Niall sits down with Laura Perrins from Gript Media to debate whether curfews could help tackle rising violence and anti-social behaviour in Dublin city centre. With recent knife attacks involving teenagers and growing public concern, Niall asks: could curfews for under-18s really make the streets safer, or would they unfairly punish young people?Laura shares her perspective on the challenges facing communities and whether curfews have worked elsewhere. After the interview, Niall opens the phone lines to hear from listeners. Callers give their own views—some supporting stricter measures to restore safety, others warning that curfews may not solve the deeper issues at play.It’s a lively, thought-provoking discussion about law, order, and how best to protect both young people and the wider public.
