Youth called to protest against ASBOs

Young people are being called to action to protest over Michael McDowell's proposals for anti-social behaviour orders.

A march will take place in Dublin on Saturday from Parnell Square to oppose ASBOs, which have been labelled as a "clampdown on civil liberties" by youth groups.

Hazel Nolan of the Union of Secondary Students says ASBOs are a complete abortion of natural justice.

"This is not going to stop anti-social behaviour at all," she says.

"You have to look to the root of the cause, to try and combat what it really is, and we need more investment in the youth sector.''
