Order of Business.

John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)
I join others in asking the Leader for a debate on crime. Hooliganism in the streets is not just caused by drink but also by drugs. It is a phenomenon that needs to be examined and dealt with. It is entirely inappropriate that people do not feel safe at night. It should be made clear that no-go areas will not be tolerated.
It has been suggested that an all-Ireland penalty points system should be introduced. I heartily agree that it would be appropriate. I ask the Leader to write to those responsible in order that such a system could be introduced in due course.
