Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. I am sure the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, will want to honour any commitment she has made on the matter. We all extend our condolences to the family. As the Deputy will appreciate, knife crime is a complex issue. He will be familiar with some of the studies from London and Glasgow as to which actions can help and which ones do not. It requires a response that is not just about criminal justice but is also a comprehensive social response. I know that the Minister has been apprised of that.
