Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

Question : To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding the murder of a law-abiding citizen in inner-city Dublin at the weekend and the evidence from this murder that a serious societal problem exists whereby anti-social behaviour is rife in certain areas and is capable of escalating into serious violence and even murder; and the urgent need for Government action to tackle the easy availability of dangerous offensive weapons and to address the failure of legislative measures aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour to date.
