A Kerry County Councillor has called for Killorglin playground to be locked at night due to anti-social behaviour.
Councillor Michael Cahill said the playground is a place for children to play and enjoy themselves and is not a place for anti-social behaviour, drink and drug parties at night time.
"I have been contacted by a number of mothers in the Killorglin area who have stopped bringing their children to the playground as they deem it to be unsafe,” said Cahill. "I have been informed that it is quite common to find broken bottles and glass, graffiti, empty cans, used condoms and all types of rubbish in the playground."

The Fianna Fail Councillor said it was very disappointing as a lot of work went into the provision of a playground in Killorglin by Kerry County Council and a hard working local committee at the time.

He added that the only option now available to stop the anti-social behaviour is to lock the playground at night.
