John Halligan (Waterford, Independent)

Regarding the proposed noise nuisance Bill, the Taoiseach will be aware across Ireland many thousands of families, night after night, live in dreadful conditions because of anti-social behaviour, most of it noise-related. As a matter of urgency, can this Bill be brought before the House earlier?

Is the Taoiseach confident the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, the main legislation for dealing with anti-social behaviour, is sufficient for dealing with this problem?
