The recent spate of knife crime and stabbings among young people “is truly a disastrous blind alley,” the Archbishop of Dublin has said. When he resisted, one of the teenagers in the other group stabbed Mr Raguragui, who slipped as he tried to flee before being fatally wounded. Ten minutes later, a member of the same group stabbed a 15-year-old boy on Nutgrove Avenue in Churchtown, 2km away. Knife violence among young people is truly a disastrous blind alley,” he said. The increase was largely driven by seizures in the six garda divisions covering Dublin city and county.
