Ivana Bacik (Independent)

I apologise for my confusion earlier, I thought we were dealing with the Seanad Report Stage amendments first.

I welcome amendments Nos. 1 and 2 made by the Dáil providing for a review of the Act. Given the level of controversy about the content of the Bill, particularly the insertion of amendments Nos. 29 and 30 that cover the offence of blasphemy, it is important if that offence is to be provided for - something I will oppose - that the legislation should be reviewed. There is no need to insert those provisions into the Bill.
