asked the Minister for Justice whether he is aware of the grave public nuisance frequently caused by the encampment of tinkers and other itinerants on vacant and unfenced sites in the suburbs of Dublin, and if he will ask the Commissioner of the Garda Síochána to take steps to eliminate this abuse.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Itinerants' Encampments.
The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I have asked the Gardaí to pay special attention to the problems caused by the encampment of itinerants in Dublin suburbs and to do all in their power to prevent infringements of the law.
