The events of the weekend in the Phoenix Park must not be tolerated and require an immediate investigation. A fortnight ago, shortly after the murder on the streets of Dublin of the eminent journalist, Mr. Eugene Moloney, I was visited in the House by a young man and his family. The young man in question, as a university student, had been attacked in the centre of the capital 25 years ago. The outcome was a successful one for him because he kicked the living daylights out of five people who attacked him and his girlfriend. We blame young people for everything but the eldest of the attackers was 35 or 36 years old.
