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.

SENIOR Limerick gardai are to meet with the Garda Commissioner this week after it was revealed that plans for a new garda station in Newcastle West have hit a significant setback.
At a meeting of the Limerick Joint Policing Committee last Friday, Chief Superintendent Gerard Roche confirmed the project, announced last summer, has “gone back to the drawing board” and that revised plans have now been submitted to the Office of Public Works for consideration.
“We have revised some of the plans based on the (new) operating model in the division which has changed our requirements in the division as to how we move people around,” he said. “It has really changed the needs for the station out in Newcastle West and we need to put in different requirements there and we have submitted that to our housing department,” he told the virtual meeting.
