Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

What is required to deal with people who are committing crimes, whether the theft of lead or a similar crime, is enforcement of the legislation on the Statute Books. These are crimes and do not need to be made crimes again. The Minister for Justice and Equality is focused on ensuring legislation is enforced and those who commit crimes of this nature are brought to justice.
