I would point out that in addition to anti-social behaviour orders, we have strong provisions enacted in legislation. There is the Criminal Damage Act 1991, the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994, which was amended in 2003, and the Intoxicating Liquor Acts, to name but a few. All these legislative provisions are constantly under review.

I assure the Deputy that An Garda Síochána is proactively targeting public disorder and anti-social behaviour in communities. It is up to me to provide the resources for that and to ensure that the legislative provisions are in a position to act as a vital tool for An Garda Síochána in order that crime be detected, investigated and successfully prosecuted.
