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

Clare Daly: The reason we concentrated on those people who engage in sexual activity for the exchange of money on a consensual basis rather than those who were coerced into it is that that is the legislation we are dealing with here today. Substantial bodies of legislation already exist to deal with people who are coerced or trafficked into this activity. The Minister, I or other people may not like...

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

Clare Daly: I intend to move amendment No. 23. We have looked at this entire issue the wrong way around. Rather than start with data, evidence and research and then deciding what policy to adopt, we started with a model that was an alleged solution and we are talking about carrying out a review after the event. That is regrettable. It contrasts sharply with the approach taken in the UK where a...
