Pádraig Ó Céidigh (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I move amendment No. 5:
“Subornation of perjury
3. (1) Without prejudice to section 7 of the Criminal Law Act 1997, a person commits an offence of subornation of perjury if he or she procures, persuades, induces or otherwise causes another person to make, while lawfully sworn in a judicial or other proceeding, a statement that is false.
(2) The question whether a statement on which the offence of subornation of perjury is assigned was material is a question of law to be determined by the court of trial.
(3) This section is without prejudice to the Criminal Justice (Mutual Assistance) Act 2008.”.
