With the gang feuding in Limerick going from bad to worse I was a bit taken aback by calls by senior Gardai on national newspapers this morning appealing for the gangs to step back from the brink. Indeed one solicitor has offered to mediate between the gangs.
Surely in a civilised society there should be no dealing or offers to mediate with people who have no respect for law and order or indeed the lives of people.
Offers to mediate between these people is only conferring on them some sort of legitimacy. Lets say the mediation works and they stop killing each other? Surely then their resources will be directed towards profiting from drug dealing and other crime.
To my mind, resources should be used to put these people out of business once and for all. If it takes putting the army into the area and imposing curfews or some form of marshal law then so be it. Enough is enough.
