Sinn Féin to Hold Public Meeting in Mayfield Next Wednesday

Sinn Féin is to hold a public meeting in Mayfield on the theme of “Creating a Safer Community” next Wednesday. The meeting will take place at St Joseph’s Community Centre on the Old Youghal Road at 7.30pm and will be hosted by Sinn Fein’s Justice Spokesperson, Jonathan O’Brien TD.

Commenting, local Sinn Féin representative Pat Mr Coughlan said:

“In recent months there has been concern among residents in Ballinderry Park and some surrounding areas about an upsurge in drug-dealing involving a small number of individuals.”

“Following a meeting with members of the community last week, Sinn Féin is holding a public meeting to allow Mayfield residents to address a number of issues affecting the area.”

“These include allegations of drug-dealing, anti-social behaviour and the number of vacant houses.”

“We have invited representatives of the Gardai and Cork City Council to hear residents’ concerns.”

“The meeting will also look at the possibility of setting up a Residents’ Action Group to tackle these issues.”
