General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion
Dr. Cl?ona Saidl?ar:
We do not think it belongs here in the way that it has been put in here. That does not mean there will not be a consideration of this, as I understand it, within a trial, for example. In terms of writing it into the legislation in this way, we do not feel this is the right place for it. It muddies the water in respect of how justice can be delivered and provided in that case.
