For months tension has been high and there have been numerous shooting  incidents and petrol bomb and pipe bomb attacks on homes in the area.  There has also been widespread intimidation that has resulted in  families being forced out of their homes. In one incident a youth  allegedly had a gun held to his head for refusing to hide drugs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also greatly disturbed at the age profile of young people who  are involved in serious crime. Community and youth leaders have pointed  out that teenagers regularly carry knives and other offensive weapons,  with some using the justification that they are protecting themselves  from attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the past we were told that the CAB would target lower level criminals but there is no evidence that this has happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are people in Tallaght who have never worked a day in their lives driving expensive cars and living the high live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGarda cutbacks and the loss of other resources are greatly hampering the state\u2019s response to what is happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdded to this are the cuts to Community Employment Schemes and DEIS  schools, youth services, community services and youth liaison posts have  all been cut, which will lead to more young people falling through the  gaps and ending up on the wrong side of the justice system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shooting of this young girl has ratcheted up the level of  tension in the area and community and youth leaders are very worried at  the widespread availability of weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery resource must be made available to bring to justice the people  responsible for this reckless and brutal attack and I would appeal to  anyone who has information on criminal activity to report what they know  to the relevant authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tallaght shooting an outrage \u2013 Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe Dublin South West Sinn F\u00e9in TD Se\u00e1n Crowe has offered his condolences to the family of a teenage girl who died in a shooting incident in Tallaght last night.
