Senator Norris raised an issue this week that the Leader of the House should ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to address – the proliferation of knives in our society. I spoke about the knife culture of this city six months ago. Every day we see young men stabbed with these appalling weapons. We must clamp down on this. We must ensure the legislation is watertight and that the Garda enforces it. As Senator Norris said, a former Garda superintendent asked the Government to launch a campaign to "bin the blade". This was successful in a number of cities in Britain and it is an initiative we should follow. Every day we see the appalling outcomes of violent and vicious assaults on young people.
