Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I strongly support the comments of Senator Mooney on censorship. It has been brought to my attention, since I raised the matter of the use of fireworks last week, that this Hallowe'en was the worst in living memory in terms of damage to property, injuries, desecration of graveyards, statues and so on. In addition, the use of repeaters, which are capable of firing up to 50 shots, was highlighted in one of our local newspapers. Young people are holding these repeaters in their hands and firing them at each other. There is no need for me to tell the House how dangerous that is. We make these statements every year. For God's sake can we do something about it so that we might at least notice an improvement next year? I ask the Leader to request the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come into the House and outline what he intends to do in future about this serious problem.
