An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2023-03-29
============================================================

Ollie Crowe (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

The main point I am making is that the sentences need to be at a certain level and that has not been happening in cases over the past number of months and years. It is important, as Members of the Seanad Éireann and of the Oireachtas, that we send out the right message that overall, the decisions that are being highlighted are having a significant impact across society. I certainly feel that this is something upon which we should bring the Minister for Justice to the House, in order to have an open discussion on how to improve and go forward in respect of the leniency of the cases. I will leave that subject for now and I thank the Cathaoirleach.
