Child Trafficking and Pornography (Amendment) Bill 2004: Committee and Remaining Stages.
11:00 am
Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)
It is important that legislation is not directed specifically. There would be situations where a committee of the House might find it necessary, if specific legislation was being introduced, to access some of these images in order to inform itself for the purpose of tabling amendments that might require to be introduced to legislation generally. This will have a general application, in my view, but I can see where it might be used in specific cases. We should perhaps concentrate on the general application.
