Are Gardaí being left to deal with problems that policing alone cannot solve?
Ahead of the new Virgin Media Television documentary Policing Dublin City, Virgin Media News Crime Correspondent Paul Quinn, Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon and Garda Representative Association President Niall Hodgins discuss the realities facing Gardaí on the streets of the capital.
From open drug dealing, addiction and homelessness to shoplifting, repeat offending and anti-social behaviour, the panel examines why concerns about safety remain despite falling overall crime figures, the pressures on frontline Gardaí and whether other public services need to play a greater role.
Policing Dublin City airs Tuesday 25 August at 9pm on Virgin Media PLAY and Virgin Media One.
Broadcast on 25/08/2025
