Vow to tackle anti-social behaviour

FINE GAEL would appoint a dedicated minister and give him or her funding of €50 million a year to combat anti-social behaviour.

The minister of state would work in the Department of an Taoiseach, and have “specific responsibility for co-ordinating and driving a campaign to tackle anti-social behaviour,” justice spokesman Jim O’Keeffe said.

Responsibility for this issue is currently scattered across several departments.
