It is my intention that the provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 2006 on anti-social behaviour by adults will be commenced on 1 January, 2007 and those on anti-social behaviour by children on 1 March, 2007, following the consultations required under the Act between my Department, the Office of the Minister for Children and the Commissioner of the Garda Síochána. The purpose of this is to ensure that these provisions will commence as soon as the Commissioner has made the necessary internal arrangements so as to ensure the smooth introduction of these new procedures.
