Seanad Éireann — 2023-11-15
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

These are minor technical drafting amendments to delete the word "threatens" as the legal advice is that this is covered by the word "coerces" in sections 12, 21, 24, 35, 42 and 46. Similarly, amendments Nos. 16, 35, 39, 73, 76 and 82 are minor technical drafting amendments to sections 12, 21, 24, 35, 42 and 46 to ensure it is clear that it is an offence to induce, coerce or request without lawful authority a member of Garda personnel to commit an offence under the previous subsection.
