-----of the problems with ticket prices in this State. It is a sham Bill in the tradition of a number of sham Bills that have come from this Government. It is becoming a little scary, and shows that the Government has lost the plot. We have had to endure the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2018, which was put forward by the Minister of State, Deputy Moran, which had no impact because it brought in a type of mandatory discretion as well as a judicial opt-out. The headlines proclaimed that the Government would deal with unfair sentences for sex crimes in legislation, but the Bill did not do that. It merely created the illusion that the Government was doing something about that issue.
