Sinn Féin councillor says petrol bomb attacks have terrified Dublin communities

Sinn Féin councillor Daithí Doolan said recent petrol‑bomb attacks in Ballyfermot and Inchicore have left local residents terrified.

Doolan, who chairs the Dublin South Central Community Safety Forum, warned that the incidents follow a series of petrol‑bomb and gun attacks in the area last week and that the violence appears to be spreading.

He called on Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan to meet with elected representatives, community leaders and local services in Ballyfermot and Inchicore to discuss how to address the causes and consequences of the rising violence.

Doolan stressed that only through joint effort can the communities be made safe for everyone.
