    The council could cough up for a guard that goes between the park and plaza. Dublin has guards for stephen's green and even for a ****ty little footbridge in the IFSC!

    Maybe there'd not enough cash...

    I think they have just kept it closed off so they can figure out what to do with it. There has been thousands of euros worth of damage done to over the past few years.

    A security guard would be a good idea, however the people who seem to be doing the damage are the type who think it's cool to pay absolutely no attention whatsoever to authority and wouldnt take any notice of the security guard.

    What we need is a increased Garda presence who will make the people not want to be at the Plaza. Search them all the time for drugs and drink, substances that may I say they usually have on them and just make their general time at the Plaza to be a pain in the arse. That should sort it out anyway!

    imho I can't see them working at all and they'd be a total waste of money, UNLESS they were monitored and when something happened somebody would be sent out to arrest someone or whatever is needed...which won't happen
    :confused:

    Do cctv of the plazza. And then when you get pictures of people destroying it and you can prove it then just put there pictures in the munster express saying these people are involved in destroying our city.

    I know they do it in england with football tugs.

    The Gardai rarley raid that place. And from what im told they never really say anything to anyone anyway, and most of them just run away from the area. I saw it happen once myself - one cop ran after em followed by one lad in a car.

    So if we had tougher police/security presence there regulary with a good few CCTV cameras monitored - when they see someone do something, give info to gardai who make arrests etc.

    They have placed a fully working CCTV system there now. Before they just had dummy cameras!

    Everything is pristine at the moment so we'll just have to see if the cameras deter vandalism!
