I thank Ms Tinsley for the work she is doing in her organisation; it is great. One sentence from her opening statement jumped out. I quote, “We also know issues of human rights and modern slavery across the supply chain is something business is more considered about and need further training on.” She talked about developing a roadmap to reduce and mitigate modern slavery in Ireland. I am reading a book called The Outlaw Ocean, which tells us that beyond the 12-mile limit, there is basically no law. I recommend it. What is going on in some parts of the world is hair-rising. Could Ms Tinsley elaborate on the comment on modern slavery in Ireland please?
