Dublin City Council is set to enforce stricter measures to housing applicants, in a bid to reduce crime in its developments.
Any tenant who is involved in anti-social behaviour is at risk of being evicted.
A new draft strategy by DCC may introduce stricter measures for those seeking a social housing tenancy and people who are already living in its units.
Housing may be refused and evictions and exclusion orders are being considered, if any member of the household is involved in anti-social-behaviour.
The activity has been categorised into three levels ranging from dog fouling, to racism, to drugs offences and organised crime.
The Irish Times reports that the Council's Anti-Social unit is to become proactive to keep people with a history of crime out of its housing estates and flat complexes.
