Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages
10:00 pm
Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)
Joking apart, that is true, but the definition is wide open in talking about activity of a sexual nature. There is an enormous amount of material on television channels such as Sky that could be seen as of a sexual nature. We should be cautious in introducing such catch-all definitions. I take the Minister's point about taking, detaining or restraining, but on the other side this is a very broad definition of activity.
