That's according to a midlands county councillor.
'I don't even feel safe walking the streets after dark'.
Offaly Fianna Fail Concillor Tony McCormack also says it's not only Dublin that has a problem with anti-social behaviour.
His comments come after a number of attacks on people in the capital - including one which left an American tourist in a coma.
Councillor McCormack says that incident brought the level of anti-social behaviour to a head:
