Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-06-13
============================================================

Michael McDowell (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 1:
To delete all words after “That” and substitute the following:
“the Bill be read a second time on 31st December, 2023.”
I welcome the Minister back to active duty. My amendment would postpone the consideration of Second Stage until the end of the year, but I wish to move it on this basis only, that we should not rush the Bill through. If I have satisfactory assurances that we are not going to rush it through, I do not particularly want to press the amendment at the end of the debate.
