Marie Moloney (Labour)

An escalating problem in Kerry and, I presume, all over Ireland is the noise and disturbance being caused by what are known as "boy racers" and, in some cases, "girl racers". This problem is being caused by young people in general. While I appreciate that these young people love their cars, do not drink and drive or take drugs this problem is causing fierce disturbance to the elderly, people with young children and working people who cannot sleep at night. I ask that the Leader ask the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Shatter, to come to the House for an open debate on how best to deal with this problem.
