Child Trafficking and Child Sexual Exploitation Material (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-06-11
============================================================

Garret Kelleher (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I welcome the debate that has taken place. I welcome to the Gallery Mary Crilly from the Sexual Violence Centre Cork, who has done tremendous work in this area for more than four decades, for which she was awarded the freedom of Cork.
I am very happy with the way the debate on the Bill has proceeded. I seek clarification on the wording of amendment No. 44. It proposes to "insert the term "Child Pornography" with "Child Sexual Abuse Material". I believe the intention, in fact, is to replace the term "Child Pornography" with "Child Sexual Abuse Material". I commend Senator Flynn and her colleagues in the Civil Engagement Group on their fantastic work on the Bill. I would appreciate clarification on the wording issue I have identified before we proceed.
