Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-02-08
============================================================

Michael McDowell (IND), National University of Ireland

I wish to comment on Senator Ward's withdrawal of his amendment. There are issues relating to politically exposed persons which I wish to consider. Senator Ward's amendment simply sought to consolidate the law in that regard, but in saying I agree to him withdrawing the amendment, I am not abandoning the issue of the need for reform in this area, which I will return to later.
