Order of Business. - Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2002: Report and Final Stages.

 

There is always a small minority who think that if there is no power at the end of the day to compel people to do things, if it is going to cost them money to install CCTV and place extra security personnel on the doors, then they will prefer to take risks with people's safety. The purpose of this Bill is to give the Garda and the District Courts some leverage to ensure that the public interest in these matters is addressed. Accordingly I am not accepting the amendment.
