Ms Jacinta De Paor:

It may not be appropriate for me to come in on this point. I wanted to refer to the issue of secondary victims. In Article 2, the definition of a victim does not include the words "him or her" whereas in head 2 of our Bill it mentions "an offence perpetrated against him or her" which excludes the secondary victims. That is very important.

The other definition that needs to be in there is on restorative justice. It appears under definitions but we will get to that in a moment.
