Clare Daly: It is one of my special phones. I have more than one. I am sorry I do not know how to turn that one off.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: Apologies, Chair. It is a badly-behaved phone. I cannot work it. As I say, currently this is classified as brothel-keeping. They can be penalised or a landlord can be penalised and the courts regularly hear cases where people are in that situation, having their hard-earned money taken from them, going before a court etc. The reason we think this is incredibly important is that it...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2016)

The lack of evidence in respect of these matters has been commented on in all jurisdictions.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: The deletion of this section is widely supported by a range of individuals and parties for reasons that have already been set out. If we do not delete it, a sex worker could be tried for loitering in a public place. This new offence could be used to target sex workers.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: I am curious to know whether the Minister intends to take on board some of the points made in our collective amendment, which specifies that data should be collected and that a time period of not more than two years would be appropriate. Indeed, we propose that a review should take place every two years thereafter. It is absolutely vital for an ongoing review mechanism to be built into this...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: I am surprised from a procedural point of view that the amendments were allowed while ours were not. I have no problem with the amendments and want to discuss them, but I note that technical point It strikes me as strange in circumstances where the amendments are incredibly vague and aspirational without specific times or targets being set, whereas ours were not like that. Nevertheless,...
