Criminal Justice (Female Genital Mutilation) Bill 2011: Report and Final Stages (14 Mar 2012)

Denis Naughten: I support the previous speakers in regard to this amendment. A loophole is being left open by not dealing with women over the age of 18 years. The reality is that the probability of somebody being prosecuted under this legislation is very slim. What is critically important is the message it sends. I have spoken to some of the people who are very involved in this and we need to put in place...

Criminal Justice (Female Genital Mutilation) Bill 2011: Report and Final Stages (14 Mar 2012)

Denis Naughten: I refer to the Minister's response in which he stated that in regard to actions against those aged more than 18 years, under legislation currently in place under the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act, a person could be charged with assault.

Criminal Justice (Female Genital Mutilation) Bill 2011: Report and Final Stages (14 Mar 2012)

Denis Naughten: Girls living in Ireland are being brought to their countries of origin to have female genital mutilation performed. Immense pressure is put on families by their overseas connections, particularly those which come from areas where female genital mutilation, FGM, is practised. Sadly, quite a number of these countries are the ones where it is not illegal. It is of the utmost importance that...

Criminal Justice (Female Genital Mutilation) Bill 2011: Report and Final Stages (14 Mar 2012)

Denis Naughten: I thank the Minister for his response. In fairness, he is trying to meet me halfway on my amendment. I take on board his point about immigration law being the appropriate place for such a provision to be introduced. The difficulty is that I have heard that so many times in the past, namely where another Bill is more appropriate for a particular provision. There have been three separate...
