Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: Our amendment in this group is amendment No. 4. This group of amendments is around some of the core provisions of the Bill relating to definitions and the burden of proof. Our amendment also uses the term "relevant person" for similar reasons as Deputy Jonathan O'Brien. We have some differences, however, and we want to tease out the interaction between the proposed definitions of capacity...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: The Minister made a distinction between a protected person under section 21 and a relevant person under section 22. Will she elaborate on why the word "relevant" could not also have been used in section 21? They would then be the relevant persons under that section rather than under the other section. I did not fully understand her explanation as to why she was able to use "relevant" in...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: I move amendment No. 4:In page 17, to delete lines 7 to 34 and substitute the following:“Sexual act with a relevant person 21. (1) A person who engages in a sexual act with a relevant person knowing that that person is a relevant person or being reckless as to whether that person is a relevant person shall be guilty of an offence. (2) A person who invites, induces, counsels or...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: I welcome Deputy Jonathan O'Brien's support for our amendment No. 11. I hope the Minister will consider accepting the amendment which I signalled in the course of my Second Stage contribution on the Bill. We felt there was an anomaly in the Bill whereby a person who is a sex worker could have his or her assets seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau as a result of the legislation. We propose...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: I am sorry, it is €1,000. The point we wish to make is that this is an unintended consequence of the legislation and we do not believe the sex worker should have his or her home or anything else seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau. On the more general issue, I also have a problem with amendment No. 10 because I would be very concerned if we were to remove protections from sex...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: I still do not accept the fact that a sex worker should be impoverished. I understood the amount specified in the Proceeds of Crime Act is €5,000 but I am subject to correction if it is €1,000 . Either way, whether it is €1,000 or €5,000, if a woman is to be only left with that basic amount of assets then she will be impoverished. Surely there is some way in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Public Water Forum (1 Feb 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: I thank the witnesses and join in the apology regarding the delay. I want to tease out a little further the question of the role of the Public Water Forum in regard to the public. The witnesses might share my view that there is not a lot of wide public knowledge of what the forum does, and they might be able to answer as to what can be done about that. Do they feel there should be public...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: The Labour Party amendment is No. 20. I too welcome the progress we have made with the Minister. We also sought to have the review after two years. The Minister has used wording which is similar to our amendment in terms of the extent to which, in the Minister's opinion, the operation of this Part has reduced human trafficking and the impact of this Part on the safety and well-being of sex...
