I agree with the Minister. I am aware of cases where gardaí are prosecuting people for persistently sending images or persistently following up with people, and that is done under existing laws, so it is not perhaps necessary to create a separate offence.

The value of the amendment is to be able to raise and clarify that and ensure that it can be addressed in the other legislation.

To follow up also on the aggravating factor in the Domestic Violence Act, I see that the Minister has an amendment on that as well which covers the other point that I was also making.
