Mary White (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Words fail me. I am privileged and honoured to hear Senator Quinn taking this issue where it should be solved, namely, in the Houses of the Oireachtas. I am overwhelmed. If I may be religious, it is pure and true Christianity to help this family in trouble. They have suffered so much.

As stated in the explanatory memorandum, the assertion that a person should not be allowed to profit from his or her crime is a well-known tenet of criminal justice.It is a principle which ought to be more prominently reflected in statute law and honoured in common law. It is a pity this Bill cannot be accepted but I understand the reasons for this. I do, however, hope for a more positive response from the Minister of State on this matter in the future.
