Longford councillor says courts need to look at public order sentencing

Longford councillor Gerry Warnock says the judicial system needs to look at the way they deal with public order incidents around the country.

The Independent councillor was commenting on violent incidents in Longford town centre on Sunday evening last.

Speaking on the Joe Finnegan show this morning councillor Warnock says he believes gardai and local politicians have done as much as they can to try to deal with the scourge of feuding.

He says he believes it's time for a wider conversation to be had on how we deal with this kind of behaviour right around the country.
