Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I will bring it to the Deputy's attention after the sitting.

The ASBO legislation is working well. Members of the House feel there should be a league table regarding the number of ASBOs and that the more ASBOs and court orders we get, the more successful the legislation is, but I disagree. I rely on the gardaí and their good judgment to go to court when necessary, but not to overly criminalise people.
