Criminal Justice (Hate Crime) Bill 2020: First Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-11-06
============================================================

Fiona O'Loughlin (FF), Administrative Panel

I move:
That leave be given to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make provision for hate crime; the imposition of a heavier penalty on an offender whose commission of a relevant offence (a list of which is contained in the Schedule to this Act) is accompanied by hate crime against an individual based on said individual's asylum or refugee status, race, colour, religion, nationality, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, transgender identity, sex characteristics, age or perceived age and to provide for related matters.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Is there a seconder?

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I second the proposal.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

When is it proposed to take Second Stage?

Fiona O'Loughlin (FF), Administrative Panel

Next Wednesday, 11 November.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Is that agreed? Agreed.
