Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 Mar 2023)

Ivana Bacik: 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...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Mar 2023)
