Since the beginning of the pandemic we have been hearing of organised teen fights across the city. Recently up to 60 teenage boys and girls as young as 13 met up in a Ballyfermot Park from two different gangs for an organised fight. 

Many of the fights are recorded and put up on social media afterwards. 

But who are behind these teen brawls, does Dublin have a teen gang culture and why are the authorities only catching up now?

Henry McKean has been investigating.
