Ms Anne Marie McMahon:

We have continuously referenced the Criminal Justice (Public Order Act), particularly section 8, where a similarity exists with the provision we are discussing. If somebody is behaving in a particular way and is asked to desist, he or she is not committing an offence if he or she moves on. If he or she does not move on and continues with the behaviour, he or she is committing an offence. That is the analogy or similarity in the context of the general scheme.
