Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of Criminal Justice (Community Sanctions) Bill: Discussion

2:40 pm

Ms Nadette Foley:

Several of us, me included, have worked with migrants for many years and are particularly conscious of the context of hate crime, including race hate crime.

As my colleague, Mr. Counihan, has said, there are categories of victims who may have perpetrated offences themselves. We are very conscious that this is not black and white.
