Many people living in Dublin do not feel safe due to drug-related intimidation.
A new report launched this afternoon highlights the levels of fear some residents feel.
This report from the Ana Liffey Drug project shows that one in five people living in the north east inner city has been intimidated by those involved in drugs.
Some have been followed, threatened and in some cases attacked for speaking out against the activity.
82 percent of those asked say they wouldn't report drug-related intimidation.

It was also cited in the report that the Luke Kelly statue was repeatedly vandalised to ensure CCTV was focused on its location and turned away from areas of drug-dealing.
