Non-Fatal Offences against the Person (Amendment) (Spiking) Bill 2023: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-31
============================================================

Gerry Horkan (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

Not as much as Senator Boyhan. It is important we keep a spotlight on spiking. I am delighted to be here speaking on the Minister's last day in the Department of Justice, for the moment at least. It is extremely important that the Department of Justice, under the command of the returning Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, takes this Bill from the Fine Gael group, which brought it forward, and from the Seanad where I think Senators will unanimously endorse it and certainly will not oppose it, but lets the Bill reach the next Stage, does whatever work that needs to be done and let us make Ireland a safer place for everybody.
