SAFE Ireland raised this point. What happens if there are children involved? How long might it take for the court to sit on the matter? What are the costs involved? If gardaí at an incident see an unsavoury situation, they should arrest the man involved. However, that generally does not happen and there are reasons for that too. There is no easy solution to it. I will not press the amendment.
