Crime Levels: Statements.
Protection of the person is the most important thing. Like Senator Terry, a son of mine was attacked in an entirely unprovoked manner in Temple Bar – excessive drinking obviously had something to do with it. I would wish to see people highlighting and stressing the long-term health effects that excessive drinking will have on young people, many of whom will have terrible health problems in 20 years time. There is a case for variable rules at local level, subject to overall national limits.
