    An obvious thing to do I would imagine if you saw the type of behavior described

    Were they Irish 12-14 year olds by the way.?
    If they're not the Gardai will be very reluctant to control them lest they feel the full brunt of the liberal PC snowflake brigade.

    You wouldn't call the gardai if a literal mob were causing what the OP had described as serious vandalism and intimidating public anti social behaviour? If they didnt call the policy, then its likely made it up or highly exaggerated.People are in danger in that situation, if that doesn't make you call the gardai, what will

    Anyway is this Oconnell Street youre talking about? If it is, then Im shocked that this event was not reported on the news as it sounds newsworthy. I would also have to say that I see plenty of gardai around the place when I am in town. If I walked that distance, I'd usually see 2 or three pairs of them, not a lot, but certainly not none.
