132 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for the Environment the measures, if any, he will take to enable local authorities to speed up eviction procedures against drug dealing tenants. [19757/96]
Legislation relating to housing aspects of the drug problem, including measures relating to evictions by local authorities in cases of anti-social behaviour, is being drafted as a matter of urgency and will be presented to the Dáil as soon as possible. It is intended that the term "anti-social behaviour" will be carefully defined for this purpose so as to focus especially on drug pushing and related activity.
