They were young people who left...

Micheál Martin: That is what is going on in the streets of the north inner city. Young children can earn a fortune. They are told to bring a packet to a certain place and they will then get €200. They are telling the other children that they are mugs not to be involved because it is lucrative and so on. We have to listen to the people there. That is most important. I did not get a reply today...
