Live beside Focus-Ireland managed apartment block, kids wreaking havoc outside, what can I do?

this is why i sometimes involuntary sterilisation is a great idea

Its vital that you use the correct terminology if you dare to complain about scum making your home life a misery.

Probably pee'd off having a judgemental, bigoted neighbour talking down to her.

I dont particularly like the tone of your post for a start and to me it appears that what you are complaining about is kids being kids in this modern day and age. A view point I would take is - they are, as you mentioned, coming from an area where there are issues related to what amounts to poverty which leads to anti social behaviour or whatever you want to call it. A few kids want an escape for a few hours from their homestead and decide to kick a ball. Both the terminology you are using in calling them feral and mentioning irrelevant information about their carer being over weight belies the attitude that you really have. Could I respectfully suggest you perhaps speak to the carer and enquire as to the situation , maybe tell the kids "lads will you stop kicking the football against the windows or doors, walls are fine" and then go about trying to encourage how green areas might be a bit better for the kids. Finishing off with going on Joe Duffy really sums up your post and your abhorrent attitude.

Best to go down and talk to the kids, and keep talking to them in a friendly manner. They will either start respecting you or get pissed off and move along.

I'd push it with your management company to complain to focus ireland formally: direct to ceo's office. Focus have a section on safety and partnership in their annual report and I'd quote that back to them.

SJW's on here don't believe in personal responsibility and the Focus literature is pretty scant in that regard too blaming society in general, but everyone has a personal responsibility to help themselves and to oversee their kids if they have same. This 'lady' doesn't appear to which is why the likes of Focus have to exist.

Spare a thought for the undoubtedly majority of decent people stuck in the Focus block too though.

The quickest solution is for you to move.

Housing bodies dont really care about you, or anti-social behaviour, they just care about meeting their targets for x amount of people housed and getting people off the list.

We had dealings with one such body before in relation to a tenant from hell, stealing from neighbours, drugs, fights, noise, parties etc. Hundreds of complaints from neighbours. Heads of the OMC were adamant that we should all call the gardai, note the time etc, then make a report to housing body with reference to the gardai being called (time & date) for their records.

Ultimately though it took one of them stealing a neighbours car, and subsequently crashing and dying in a car chase with the gardai for the rest of them in that apartment to be moved by the housing body. Pretty grim, but it shows you just how serious an incident needs happen before these housing bodies take action.

Just want to say if the OP is an owner they are the management company & I think they might mean they are complaining to the management agents.

Maybe get onto the directors or better still put yourself forward as one - you can do that at any time.

The problem tenant might be moved on but you might get another one in their place, just another fun aspect of living in an apartment complex.
