Censorship and curfews. Not sure that’s a good plan chief.

“But it’s the low-level stuff that puts people in peril walking around and many times its young people who are randomly attacked.”
Low level is getting sucker punched and ending up in A&E? What a cretin.
Let’s be honest, jail is needed. Most people have zero interaction with Gardai beyond a tax checkpoint or getting a document witnessed. Anyone who commits a violent crime should be sent to prison or similar institution for at least a fortnight.

Yes your honour, my client may have a drug problem, an alcohol problem, anger issues and 27 previous convictions, but he said he was SORRY!

>Speaking during Leaders’ Questions, he suggested that restrictions on social media to avoid the “Andrew Tate-ification” of young adolescents, curfews, the seizing of scooters and playstations, or fining parents as potential measures that could be implemented.
These are all separate topics being driven by Gogarty as a source behind anti-social behavior. Most people also know that Andrew Tate is an alleged sex pest who trafficked young girls. Taking away someone’s toys also isn’t going to regulate behaviour, it’ll just make them more mad. Fining parents is fucking stupid and comes from the minds of anti-natalists, salivating at the opportunity to punish parents for even not knowing something obscure or slight.

Fucking military school is what’s needed. Anyone under 21 out causing havoc should be taken out of their incapable parents hands and straightened out properly. We’ve made huge mistakes in the past with industrial schools but we can’t let those mistakes stop us from finding a real solution. Slaps on the wrist and baby talked to in therapy does nothing.

He’s entirely correct that on-the-spot measures are needed, though I would perhaps disagree on what they should be.
One of the greatest failings of the Irish system is how long it takes for a sentence to be handed down. It’s [well known](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2441464) that criminals have higher time discounting than other people – they don’t care much about the future and it doesn’t factor into their decisions. A sentence that takes years to be decided doesn’t deter them, because they don’t care what happens years in the future. This is why the cane works so well in places like Singapore, it brings the bulk of the punishment closer to the present. Swift and sure action is the name of the game in deterring criminals.

Dining parents is honestly an interesting suggestion.
And not to make assumptions because I know it’s not always the case but cutting benefits temporarily if applicable to cover the costs.

Obviously Tate is an issue but anti-social behaviour by teens in Ireland has been prevalent way before Tate and is a separate problem.

The single long term answer to all this krap is **better prison infrastructure**, both for adults and minors.
Once this is in place, there will be more room for throughput in the judicial system, carting these scrotes from the courts into prison, even for the smallest of crimes which are getting nothing more than a slap on the wrist and at the expense of everyone’s time (specifically the guards) as well as our (tax) money.

Anyone carrying out violent random attacks needs to be dealt with to an extent where they won’t even dream of doing it a second time. ‘On the spot’ measures like fines ect are pointless.
