Brendan Ryan (Labour)

At the risk of being beaten up by Labour Party lawyers, the Minister has a point in his argument about the amendment as it is drafted. I will deal with the consequences of this, I am well able for it. The Minister is conceding that grooming is not, per se, illegal in this country. That is a matter of concern. In party political nonsense I could beat the Minister over the head with this but it ought to be a matter of concern. The Internet is facilitating this new area and we are slow to deal with it. We should avoid being five years behind technology.
