Whether it is the fault of Dublin City Corporation or the HSE or whoever else, the city centre has become infested with junkies and skanks that intimidate tourists and locals alike. The decision to locate methadone clinics, rehabilitation centres and halfway houses in the city centre has become an unmitigated disaster that is causing serious damage to our capital. In the past five years this problem has gotten steadily worse. Heads need to roll in DCC.
