Select Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: I will wait for the Minister to reply.

Select Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: I am very disappointed. The Labour Party brought this forward to bring absolute certainty that members of the Israel Defense Forces could and would be prosecuted and declared as a terrorist organisation for the atrocities they are conducting in Palestine every day, every night and every hour, almost. We really hoped this Government would support us. The amendment is in the spirit of what...

Select Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: I think I have said everything in relation to this issue. I am disappointed that the Minister is not in a position to work with us even on this issue, so I will be pressing my amendment.

Select Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: I move amendment No. 9: In page 4, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following: “(2) Proceedings for the offence of terrorist-linked activity consisting of public provocation to commit a terrorist offence shall not succeed unless there is material evidence as to an intention on the part of the accused, formed prior to the distribution or publication concerned, to incite...

Select Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: The Minister might say this amendment is not dealing with the same things as the UK legislation. It is dealing with what we have in Irish legislation. He is right. He was also right in describing the legislation that is being changed by this legislation as clunky. He has used the word "trigger" quite a bit. What is the test? What triggers incitement? That is the reason I put in this...

Select Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: I will press the amendment with a sense of hope that the Minister will reflect. There is a reason legislation was drafted without the word "material" over the decades when it comes to incitement. There is now a reason in the more modern world for interpretations to be more defined because of the advent of technology and the disintermediation of some other mediums. We probably need to be...

Alan Kelly: I know the Taoiseach is going be very sad next week when my great county of Tipperary defeats, in fairness, his great county of Cork in the all-Ireland. I just want to condition him for that. I hope that sadness does not permeate elsewhere, particularly as the Government is doing the NDP and the summer economic statement. There has been a bit of conditioning coming from the Tánaiste...

Proceeds of Crime and Related Matters Bill 2025: Second Stage (17 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: This is good legislation and the Minister should be commended for it.

Proceeds of Crime and Related Matters Bill 2025: Second Stage (17 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: We will be supporting it 100%. I also compliment CAB, its officers and the people who work there. They do very sensitive and dangerous work and their anonymity is important going forward because these criminals and their organisations have long views. It is incredibly important that we protect the people who work for CAB. I want to acknowledge something that shows how politics works at...
