sit sit maybe give us a reassurance on the tram give us a nod we got you you know kind of you know why aren't we pulling together there is a complete separation all the time and I don't think it's a Dublin thing I don't think it's a Lewis thing I don't think it's a security thing I don't think it's a Garda thing I don't think I'll tell you what it is it's a gender issue we have

We have young men coming up in this country that do not give a damn about what they say, do or behave around young girls and women.

And I see it across the board.

I work in the communities over the years.

I'm a tutor.

I'm well clued in with kids.

I help out with bands.

I do all sorts of stuff.

So I have a good ear to the ground and I do have good observational skills in everything.

and instinct skills.

And I'm telling you now, we have gender issues.

Why are these boys behaving like this?

Why are other boys saying no?

And also, why are we relying on a judicial system that sees favour for the perpetrator and not the victim?

Why do we have to go in and prove that they did this to us?

There's a constant office.

And I'm telling you now, there's many a day I wish we could take it back to tribal dealings because sometimes I think it's going to take...

I don't want to incite violence, but it does take a big shock and it takes a good hiding of these people too, and this type of young man, because they will see nothing else.

They need to be dealt with.

We don't have a violence issue in this country.
