Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

Under the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, will measures be introduced to outlaw the purchase of Samarai swords? A decision was made to do that in the United Kingdom last week. I raise this matter because in three incidents that occurred in the past week Samarai swords, purchased in shops, were used to assault gardaí and citizens in Louth, Dublin and in my constituency of Cork South-Central.
