Dr. Margaret Fitzgerald-O'Reilly:

Yes. There is nothing wrong in targeting individuals where there is evidence to suggest that their travelling abroad poses a specific risk.

We need to have a balanced approach and that involves looking at whether making that restriction or prohibiting that person from travelling is necessary and proportionate in all circumstances. We need to take into consideration the purpose of the travel. As I mentioned, in the context where somebody must travel to enjoy family life where he or she works in a different jurisdiction, the purpose of the travel becomes important. Perhaps it is something that could be incorporated into a redrafting of this amendment.
