We need to be conscious of the reasons people drink so much. Why do they feel the need to behave in a violent manner when they flow on to the streets in the early morning? Some people feel it is necessary to damage the wing mirror of a car, to break a shop window or to smack an innocent bystander in the face. Why do some people feel the need to stab or shoot other people, as has happened on many occasions? Can these problems be attributed to peer pressure, drugs, drink or a lack of gardaí? It is probably a combination of all these things and many more. The problems I have mentioned can be seen every weekend. Parents, politicians, the Garda Síochána and those directly involved are responsible for solving them. Everybody who saw the "Prime Time" documentary was astounded, but similar drunken behaviour can be seen on the streets on Friday and Saturday nights.
