## Resource

New Lord Mayor Daryl Barron is launching a bold crackdown on youth anti-social behavior in Dublin, demanding more powers for gardaí to tackle arson and vandalism — especially where teens exploit their age to evade consequences. He’s pushing for increased police visibility beyond downtown into suburbs, urging parents to take greater responsibility, and proposing a dedicated transport police unit to boost safety. To fund these changes and improve public spaces, Barron backs a tourist tax — modeled after global cities — that could generate millions annually, earmarked for infrastructure and cleanliness without burdening locals. Rooted in family tradition and fueled by deep love for Dublin, Barron sees this as his civic duty to transform the city for residents and visitors alike.
