I commend Deputy Ó Ríordáin on bringing this forward. He has identified a really important area of law and a gap in the current criminal scheme that we need to address. Deputy McNamara raises an important point about the intent offence but that would be built into the substantive offence in any case. I hope we can work with the Minister on this because we want to achieve the necessary change in the law through working collaboratively.
