Joyriders 'terrorising' people of
Urris
14.02.08
The people of Urris are
being "terrorised" by joyriders who have burnt out
two cars in as many months.
Inishowen Councillor Pádraig MacLochlainn said the
latest incident involved a car being burnt out not
far from a grieving family. |
"I would appeal to
those responsible for so called joyriding in the
Urris area to immediately stop their activities and
realise that they are terrorising people in their
community, particularly the elderly," he said.
He described how, in the latest incident, a car was
burnt out in the Tiernasligo area of Urris near a
family who lost a loved one in recent days.
"I have to say that I'm stunned at the sheer
insensitivity of the latest incident. To leave a car
burnt out only a short distance away from the home
of a |
 |
family grieving the
loss of their mother is shocking," said the Sinn
Féin town and county councillor.
"Prior to that, these joyriders were treating Urris
like a race track. If these young people do not wake
up to their behaviour, it is only a matter of time
before they move from joyriders to death drivers and
someone's life is lost.
"I will be discussing this matter with the Garda
Superintendent and asking him to deploy additional
officers into the area until these activities
cease," he added. |
