ANTI-SOCIAL behaviour in the heart of Dublin is as bad as ever, a takeaway owner warned yesterday.
Dhiran Madan’s business in Temple Bar was forced to close when one of his couriers was attacked in 2021.
He was speaking after RGDATA, which represents over 4,000 independent businesses across Ireland, revealed its members have suffered waves of “harassment, vile abuse and shoplifting”.
Dhiran said: “These reports did not surprise me. We know that this goes on, so we need more gardai and for them to be more visible.
“A drunken man recently came into my shop and punched someone. I rang the gardai and they arrested him.
“I am always ringing the gardai. Our window was smashed two years ago when a delivery driver was attacked and they threw broken bottles.
