- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Oct 2024)
Sharon Keogan: They are all being discussed together but I have quite a long list of amendments so I want to try to get in as many as I can.

- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Oct 2024)
Sharon Keogan: The Bill currently lacks a clear definition of hate and incitement to hate or violence, which are central to its purpose. By leaving these terms undefined, the legislation risks creating ambiguity in its application, leading to potential challenges in enforcement, interpretation and legal scrutiny. This amendment seeks to address this gap by providing a clear and precise definition of...

Sharon Keogan: On amendment No. 11, there is no standard definition of incitement. The fact that hate, incitement and incitement to violence or hatred is ambiguous is a major problem with this Bill. This definition should be robust enough to ensure no one is unfairly convicted. The emphasis on irrational creates a great burden of proof. This amendment introduces a clear and standardised definition of...
