Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages

 

1:00 pm

Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

While I appreciate the point made by Senator Norris and we spent much time discussing it in the committee, I fully support what the Minister has said. We are in the business of protecting children and we have to set high standards. I know it is easy to think a 15 year old child is 17 or 18. I even notice it, as I am sure we all do, when I knock on doors while canvassing.
