Question 502: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will report on plans for the introduction of anti-social behaviour orders to deal with anti-social problems in communities; if his attention has been drawn to the strong community demand in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am aware of the growing concern about incidences of anti-social behaviour and I hope to be in a position shortly to seek Government approval to draft legislative proposals to allow the courts to make anti-social behaviour orders. I intend to introduce my proposals in this respect by way of amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill which is on Second Stage in the Dáil. I will make my proposals available to the Human Rights Commission and to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Womens' Rights after they are approved by Government.
