The main purpose of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Acts 1994 to 2003 is to provide An Garda Síochána with additional powers to deal with the behaviour of people in public places, including late night street violence and anti-social conduct attributable to excessive drinking, and to provide for various controls to be exercised at public events.
While the Public Order Acts are kept under continual review, I have no plans at present to update the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Acts 1994 to 2003.
