Guy lay dead in apartment for more than a week

No idea of the particulars of Mr Dempsey's upbringing, but isn't one of the major major factors in chances of everything going pear shaped the lack of a father figure (i.e., single parent families).

The body was inside the ground floor property. If you could smell the decomposing body from outside how the fool would McVerry staff not smell it inside??? They’re a bit of a shambles if the statement from them below is anything to go by

Locals yesterday said they could smell the strong “stench” from the property in the days running up to the find. And the odour remained there yesterday while the Garda Technical Bureau examined the scene.

“The tenant, a woman, was successfully accommodated in the property over eighteen months ago, it said. The statement read: “Unfortunately, the tenancy began to break down over recent months as the tenant was struggling to manage the front door and individuals, who had no interest in the property or the tenant’s recovery, were gaining entry to and using the property.

“Steps were actively taken to support the client to surrender the tenancy with a view to being supported in another tenancy elsewhere. This process was being carried out in line with the rights of the tenant. PMVT also increased staff visits to the property.”

Staff from the charity had been visiting the property over the last week but were unaware of the body. Dempsey was not a client of the charity but its CEO yesterday passed on his condolences.

Pat Doyle said: “We’re saddened at the loss of a young life and wish to express our sympathies to the family of the deceased. Staff visited the property daily, including over the weekend, and they had no indication or evidence that someone was deceased at the property or in the vicinity.

There are a long list of questions about the McVerry Trust. Vast amounts of tax money have been poured into that organisation and it seems like a complete waste of money.

Are there actually “normal” people living in these complexes that are not involved antisocial behaviour? It must take quite a bit for them to complain about something.

Well that too, but I meant the full story.

A child in and out of care, with no family. No doubt didn't get any education. The gardai see them over and over again and no matter what they do, the crime is so petty it doesn't incur a long prison sentence. Or, worse, prison ends up being a networking convention for them, where they meet more criminals.

There's a boy around here aged 10 or 11. He doesn't go to school. His family are either dead or in prison, I'm not sure, but they are not around. He is the eldest of the kids, split across various care situations, and he robs constantly. Every single day, morning until night. He strips down bikes for parts and moves them on. That's basically his "career" now. I've talked the the gardai a few times about him, when our bikes were nicked. They said it's the same story they have seen many times before, and they will have a lifetime of trouble with him. What hope does that child have? What happened this guy is probably his future.

Drugs have destroyed communities in urban areas like inner city of Dublin for many years and it’s getting worse . Drug dealers and their runners are like vultures on the streets of the inner city.

getting as bad in rural Ireland but it’s mostly powder cocaine . The huge impact on rural communities is how the drug dealers now control these towns with law and order broken down - the garda stations are closed down or have Micky mouse opening hours with 2/3 guards . Law abiding people are afraid to go about their daily business in so many towns and villages for fear of falling foul of drug dealers and their large extended families who control many parts of the country .

I'm from a smaller regional town. Never heard of anybody afraid to go out about their daily business for fear of drug dealers or kingpin families! Sure, maybe, people wont' walk on their own at 2am through town.. but hardly the same thing.

God you're sheltered.

Lol you haven't a clue boss

As I said..you're talking nonsense. A 10 yo turning spanners and running a bogus parts business😂

Plenty of decent successful people come from these areas too. I'm not buying the nothing to do argument. We had feck all to do in Kildare growing up.

This is to do with the cycle of crime within some families. It's bred into them at an early age. What the hell can more money being pumped into areas achieve.

That'd be the idea..... not meant to be a free for all. But people spot a vulnerability or an opportunity... whoosh. in they go.

They are but unfortunately they, as with other accomodation types, sometimes have tenants in them that are easily led and end up being used as doss houses by waifs and strays who have 'befriended' the tenant.

Exaclty this and I wonder what sort of legal issues they could potentially face if this is the case. Especially if it's written into a government contract re funding or a contract re duty of care to the tenant.
