- Criminal Justice (Smuggling of Persons) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Dec 2021)
Catherine Connolly: This is a very basic amendment and I would think the Minister of State would accept it.

- Criminal Justice (Smuggling of Persons) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Dec 2021)
Catherine Connolly: I am not alone in being tired because it is late at night but I am speechless at the idea that the Minister of State cannot accept this amendment, given his bona fides and the arguments put by him that humanitarian organisations would not be prosecuted.

Catherine Connolly: I welcome this opportunity and I often claim there is no debate but we got time today to debate this Bill.
