On a related matter, we have previously debated the extraordinary dependence of young people on alcohol and the ensuing violence. There was a radio programme yesterday in which a very distinguished police officer spoke about the prevalence of knives and suggested the Oireachtas had a duty to amend the Offensive Weapons and Firearms Act in order to curtail the carrying of knives, some of which are quite horrendous. He described how a match was put in a Stanley knife with two blades in order that when a person was assaulted and cut, an entire strip of flesh, which is very difficult to sew, was removed. There have been so many deaths through the use of knives that he said he was much more terrified of a knife than of a gun. We have been warned. We need to look at this and produce a legislative amendment to cover the subject. Such knives should be outlawed and their possession should be made a criminal offence.
