Cork city has gone to the dogs.

You’re not seeing the point, if it’s closed at night mess created and damage will be significantly less than if it was open all night. It worked fine like this for decades

I don’t know what is so difficult to understand about that.

Of course those who vandalise public space should be dealt with accordingly but that is a different conversation.

I am see your point but my point is you’d need someone to lock it up and close it every day. You’d need to pay someone to do it. If someone wants to vandalise it they’ll just hop the wall anyway.

It could be cheaper to just clean any graffiti that appears. As I understand it this graffiti is easily cleaned.

The visible Garda presence on streets in the centre of town (during daylight hours at least) is great, but has had the effect of drivingthe crackheads, junkies and all the other scumbags a bit further out.

Ok I’m not often in Cork maybe every 3 or 4 months but was there a few weeks ago saw one guard in a bike …

Ok m8, I don’t think that would be cheaper but if you do that’s fine.

It was going very well for a while but definitely less of a presence around recently

Just went over the pedestrian bridge next to Merchant's Quay...all the alkies are back drinking there again so I'd say that's high visibility policing over and done with

I think the reason for that is that there is holes in the grate of the bridge so they can just piss where they're standing straight into the river.
