- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Oct 2024)
Helen McEntee: We have very different views on this. It is important to remember that a hate crime is a criminal offence, whether it is harassment, assault, vandalism or any other crime.

Helen McEntee: I am trying to gather my thoughts. Again I need to go back to what we are trying to achieve. What is the objective of the legislation? This is not a gender recognition Bill. The pages and pages Senator Keogan read from whoever sent them to her could perhaps be kept for a gender recognition (amendment) Bill. It has no relevance to what we are talking about. I will never apologise for...
