Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

What is required to deal with the issue of gangland crime is not more legislation but more enforcement of the legislation. Shooting a person in a public park or in his or her car or his or her home is a crime. We do not need more legislation to make it a crime again. We need to ensure the legislation is enforced and is operating properly. It is to those ends - the enforcement of the legislation, protection of persons in their homes and support for the Garda - on which the Government is focusing its attention.
