Criminal Law (Human Trafficking) Bill 2007: Committee Stage.
5:00 pm
Rónán Mullen (Independent)
I am concerned that the Minister of State has mentioned the issue of control because I do not see where control comes into it. My amendment tries to criminalise the end user. I am not referring to prostitution per se but to the possibility that a person working in the sex industry in Ireland could purchase the services of a trafficked person in the making of pornography. If the Minister of State is unsure whether such a person would be guilty of a criminal offence as the matter stands, why not accept my amendment?
