Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

May I ask the Tánaiste, in the present context, if the Government intends to use one of the Bills on the legislative list to deal with the rising tide of criminality in this country? For example, in the last couple of days a 14 year old boy was found to have been wearing a bullet-proof vest. Does the Government intend to introduce legislation to combat and confront the extent of criminality now taking place?
