Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed).
1:00 pm
Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)
This must be narrowly focused on falsity. It could well be difficult to prove something is frivolous in a criminal context and that is why that subsection is focused specifically on falsity whereas the other includes a wider gambit of situations. As I stated regarding a criminal offence, it would apply to the situation where the person knows it to be false.
