A councillor who “cannot stomach” the “lawless” behaviour of some children says fining their parents is the right incentive to force them to know where they are.
Former mayor Liam Galvin says the public are at their “wits end” with the anti-social behaviour in many communities across the county, and that a “blind eye” has been turned to the trouble by the public and gardai.
Now, he is petitioning his Fine Gael colleague, Justice Minister Helen McEntee to introduce tough new legislation, including taking money from parents, from either their salary or social welfare payment, if their child misbehaves.
