Changes in the legislation will make it a criminal offense to place children at risk by sending them onto the streets and roads to beg.
Gardai are to be granted new powers to arrest and charge people who fail to comply with an order to stop begging. This will become a public order offense if it is accompanied by harassment, obstruction or intimidation.
However, the law will also recognize that circumstances can arise where asking for help cannot be regarded as begging, according to justice officials.
