On this issue, the Irish Medical Organisation made a submission to us in which it referred to the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act. It defines harassment in the context of causing alarm, distress or harm. The IMO stated that the current Bill does not incorporate that definition and it is a bit concerned and seeks that the matter would be examined.
