The appointment of community safety wardens to patrol Dublin’s north inner city is just one of the 50 actions contained in the Government’s latest plan for the area.
On today’s In the News podcast, Irish Times Dublin editor Olivia Kelly explains why the wardens’ ability to make the community safer will likely be limited.
Meanwhile Peter Evans, who serves as a community warden in Derry, outlines the challenges he faces and how wardens can be effective in managing social problems and improving life in the city.
Kelly also explains the other key elements of the Dublin plan – and how it differs from those that have gone before.
