Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I have raised on a number of occasions the spiking of drinks in discos, night clubs and licensed premises, which is an ongoing problem. Many young people walk around discos with a thumb over their bottles. I often wondered what this was about and I am led to believe it is the only way they can ensure their drink is not spiked. This is a serious matter. My daughter attends discos and so on and I am told this takes place on a regular basis, but nothing has been done about it. In many cases young ladies end up getting raped. Something must be done about this as there is no point in just talking about it. I would like the Minister to come here to debate the issue. Positive suggestions might emanate from that debate and action could be taken to prevent this type of outrageous behaviour.
