The Minister of State at the Department of Justice, Deputy James Browne, is developing a national youth strategy. This is a progressive and positive piece of work in terms of affirming the positive dimensions of youth and giving the necessary supports to young people more generally. In respect of anti-social behaviour, there has been a worrying increase in certain areas and in the wanton nature of that behaviour in terms of putting people in danger. The Minister for Justice along with the Minister of State, Deputy Browne, and An Garda Síochána are working collectively on a range of strategies to deal with it.
