You might want to find out the success rate of this policy in other countries before trying it here.Build more prisons.
Well if you are supporting it, could you show some previous cases where internment was used successfully?There is a big difference. A large minority of the population of Northern Ireland in the 1970s (and later) had various degrees of sympathy with and support for the terrorists. This meant that internment increased public support for the terrorists, and motivated hordes of sympathetic youths to join them.
In contrast, there is very little public support for the gangsters and no real prospect of large numbers of disaffected youths joining their ranks as a protest against society.

Ok, my mistake.Who said I supported anything?
Sounds great in theory, but if it works so well why not bring it in nationwide (and full time) ?In the Limerick scenario if 30 of the worst could be lifted I suspect that would be enough for the moment, so we're not talking about hundreds. If the guards are doing as much surveillance and know as much as they let on they do (but cant act on due to the law) then few if any innocents would be picked up.

if the government ever did give this the go ahead..i think we all know it would not stop at 30 people,nor would it be confined to just limerick,In the Limerick scenario if 30 of the worst could be lifted I suspect that would be enough for the moment, so we're not talking about hundreds.

it would quickly become a nationwide policy for all sorts of alleged offences...however its very unlikely the government would ever agree to something like this,as they know it would almost certainly be successfully challenged in the european court of human rights!
if you are saying it would be a good thing...then,as a privous poster said...show us somewhere internment has been successfull!So are you saying that something like this would not be a good thing? Surely gang warfare is a worldwide issue and maybe it could be tackled on a European front aswell.

i think most people know the answer to that already!Are our gardai/department of justice/politicians/judiciary that lacking in integriaty that you fear they would run amok if given such powers?
