If we are to talk about the twin pillars of education and enforcement, we should have real and meaningful education that will tackle the core of the issue and give young people an opportunity to buy in.

I subscribe to Senator Cannon's comments on the use of youth cafés. We have one in my local election area of Togher and it is brilliant. We also have a brilliant example in Ballinlough. The Progressive Democrats and Fianna Fáil have been in Government for 11 years but we have seen no national roll-out strategy of youth cafés.
