BYE BYE BURGLARS - NEW LAW COMES IN TO OPERATION

I very much welcome the Burglary of Dwellings Act which is now in operation, the Act was introduced by Minister Frances Fitzgerald. The Act targets repeat burglars. The law means bail can be denied, and consecutive sentences can be given to repeat burglars and the Act also provides an important additional layer of support to Gardai in implementing Operation Thor which is a multi-strand national anti-crime and anti-burglary operation.
