Seanad debates

Thursday, 24 October 2002

I was glad the Minister referred to the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill, 2002. We look forward to its passage through the House in the near future and to its enactment. We hope it will address the issue of Garda powers. We must tackle the late night disturbances which are a cause of concern to the public. The Minister spoke about disabling and fatal injuries. That is unacceptable in a civilised society. I agree with Senator Terry about our drink culture. We should examine closing times not only of public houses but of takeaways. People often congregate outside such establishments and that leads to the problems we have all experienced.
