    From RTE

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2004/0805/housing1.html

    Extract:

    "Mr Ahern is bringing in laws tomorrow that will allow for the banning of offspring of tenant purchasers from an area."

    Has anyone any idea what on earth this means in practice?

    In practice? I'm not even sure what the sequence of words after "banning" even means. Something to do with getting undesirable and troublesome kids ("kids" being over 18 presumably) out of council housing? Something to do with fleas and dogs? Reading the rest of the article I suspect it's more likely to be the former. "Bringing in laws" is a little vague though. Could be a statutory instrument I suppose, can't be introduction of legislation in the Dail as it's Marbella season at Leinster House.

    I suppose it is to stop potential troublemakers having an automatic right to live in the area, just because their parents do or did. It is not going to be easy to put into practice, that's for sure. I can see a lot of complications arising from it.

    I have just read the link. I agree with this because the revolving-door prison system makes it inevitable that young troublemakers will be up to their usual tricks or car-theft, vandalism, and drug-dealing. I am a young person (24) so I am definitely not stereotyping youn people. But a small minority make life hell for the rest, and I strongly feel that measures like this are not before time.
