Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

I move amendment No. 6:

In page 6, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following:

"(a) is committed by an Irish citizen or gives rise to injury to or death of an Irish citizen,".

We do not need to delay on this. The purpose of this amendment is to extend the extra territorial scope of the Bill to ensure offences by or against Irish citizens are prohibited. The legislation as amended on Committee Stage lists a number of parties and this amendment extends it to the citizen.
