PARENTS SHOULD PAY the price for their children’s anti-social behaviour, Fianna Fáil’s Willie O’Dea has said.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent, he said that parents have a “huge role” to play if their children are engaging in anti-social behaviour and they should be “forced to act when they otherwise don’t”.
He said: “They should be penalised in some shape or form, either through fines or having their social welfare stopped.”
The article also highlights how anti-social behaviour is a particular problem on some sections of the Luas green line in south Dublin.
So, what do you think? Should parents be fined over their children’s anti-social behaviour?
