People living in Derry have expressed growing concern about the placement of criminals in temporary accommodation around the city.
The Derry News has learned that in one case a ‘notorious’ paedophile was placed in a street just doors away from young families.
Other violent offenders from different parts of Northern Ireland have been granted court bail to reside in B&Bs and hostels in the city.
Residents are ‘outraged’ and have questioned whether risk assessments were carried out prior to these placements.
