Kenny's law and order policies criticised as 'populist stunt'

Fine Gael’s proposals to tag offenders while on bail is a populist stunt to win votes, it was claimed today.

Opposition leader Enda Kenny told delegates at his party’s 73rd Ard Fheis last night that 11,000 serious crimes like robbery, rape and murder were committed by offenders while out on bail in the past two years.
