Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2002: Committee Stage.

 

It is appropriate to include this amendment in the Bill, as it would give greater powers to the Garda to carry out the work necessary to tackle the type of public order offences which occur. It would tackle it at source by dealing with the individual who is consuming too much drink, acting in a way that is unacceptable or seeing whether the owner of the premises is providing drink to somebody who has already taken excessive amounts of alcohol. I recommend that the Minister of State, Deputy Parlon, accept this amendment.
