Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I would make the point, which I am sure Deputy Shortall is well aware of, that in all cases where consent is disputed, consent must be decided within the circumstances of each case. The amendment sets out the circumstances which have been identified by our courts as vitiating consent. Whether the Deputy decides to pursue this or not, I ask her to bear in mind the point I have made about it being a non-exhaustive list. There will be other legislation at a future point. We will also have the report from the Law Reform Commission on the other issue raised.
