Vol. 537 No. 3

Written Answers. - National Crime Council.

Thomas P. Broughan

Question:

214 Mr. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will give an update on the National Crime Council and its forthcoming report on measures to address drinking, vandalism and aggressive yob behaviour by youths in urban estates; and if he will assist the Garda Síochána in eliminating these unacceptable aspects of urban culture. [16144/01]

I am informed by the National Crime Council that it is undertaking a major research project in relation to the com mission of public order offences in Ireland, which should significantly enhance the information available about the scope and nature of this problem. The NCC has commissioned the Institute of Criminology, University College Dublin, to conduct the research, and it is estimated that the project will be completed in approximately 12 months. The Garda Síochána is represented on the NCC by a deputy commissioner.

I assure the Deputy that the findings of the project will receive my full consideration and, where appropriate, will be acted upon without delay.
