Criminal Law (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction) Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages
10:30 am

The point I am making is this. Was it necessary to cast this Bill so wide that every such incident anywhere in the world involving any Irish citizen or any person who is ordinarily resident in Ireland should now become prosecutable in the Irish courts? I do not see why that is an unreasonable point to make and I do not see where the policy has been explained as to why that should now be part of our criminal law.
