The lives of vulnerable young people were turned upside down by lockdown.
COVID-19 restrictions are to blame for the current crime wave in Dublin, the Irish Youth Foundation has claimed.to their citizens, warning them to be careful in Dublin., Irish Youth Foundation chief Lucy Masterson said the roots of the problem go back a number of years.“If you look back to just before the pandemic and the three lockdowns, for children and young people who were living in disadvantaged circumstances in Ireland, life was already challenging,” she said.
“What they predicted at the time is really quite shocking because it’s actually playing out in front of our eyes,” Ms Masterson said. “Over half of them said there was going to be a steep rise in anti-social behaviour and criminality as we came out of lockdown.“They were predicting steep rises in early school leaving and increased cycles in poverty and unemployment.”Ms Masterston said although the issues of crime and anti-social behaviour are “major” in some communities, there are solutions to them.
