Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I support the call for a debate on decentralisation. I will have many good things to say about it. I wish to raise a matter which I have raised on a number of occasions. Each day we see coverage in the media of the number of unprovoked attacks that are occurring in our towns and cities, as well as the increasing use of guns and the ongoing use of knives. I also raised on three occasions what took place over Hallowe'en. It is important that we do something now. Proposals should be put forward in the House by the Minister, Deputy McDowell, who is no stranger to this Chamber and always comes here when invited, to ensure we will not be saying the same things here next year. It is urgent that the Leader have a debate on this as soon as possible.
