Child Trafficking and Child Sexual Exploitation Material (Amendment) Bill 2022: Report Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-11-05
============================================================

Niall Collins (FF), Limerick County

Notwithstanding the change in the Government’s position on the Bill, which we are opposing, I am happy to speak further on the two amendments as they are evidence of the democratic process at work. The Senators have engaged on the issues that were outlined with their proposal and it is important to acknowledge the work they have put in to address them.
I understand that the purpose of these two amendments to the Long Title is to correct an error and substitute the updated term "Child Sexual Abuse Material" in place of the wording that appeared in the original version of the Bill, which was "Child Sexual Exploitation Material". These changes are appropriate and correctly align with the Long Title and the purpose of the Bill.
