Increased Security and Garda Monitoring for Charlestown Place, Finglas
Petition Text
We, the undersigned residents of Charlestown Place, Finglas, are calling for urgent action to address recurring attacks, disturbances, and anti-social behaviour in and around our homes.
In recent weeks and months, our community has been repeatedly targeted by groups of youths engaging in violent and disruptive behaviour, including:
- Fireworks directed at the building and residents
- Acts of aggression and intimidation, particularly towards residents from other countries
- Damage to property and common areas
These incidents are not isolated. They are increasing in frequency and severity, threatening the safety, well-being, and peace of our community. Many residents have already documented such incidents with photos and videos, which can be provided as supporting evidence.
We respectfully request that Urbeo (our management company) act immediately in coordination with An Garda Síochána and/or a private security service to ensure:
- Regular and visible Garda monitoring, ideally on a 24/7 basis, or at least during afternoons and evenings when most incidents occur
- An increased and consistent security presence to protect residents and property
Our community deserves to feel safe in our own homes. Immediate action is necessary to prevent further harm and to restore peace and security to Charlestown Place.
We, the undersigned, support this petition and urge swift measures to be taken.
Why is this important?
Everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home and community. The situation in Charlestown Place has reached a breaking point — residents are being intimidated, property is being damaged, and families are living in fear. This is not just a matter of inconvenience, it’s a matter of safety, dignity, and basic human rights.
Without immediate action from Urbeo, An Garda Síochána, and local representatives, these problems will continue to escalate, putting more residents at risk and damaging the sense of community we all value.
