Criminal Justice (Perjury and Related Offences) Bill 2018: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-15
============================================================

Barry Ward (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I support the Minister of State with respect to the deletion of section 8. The original section 8 was well intended but it is clear from an examination of the various penalties involved in professional registrations that the section could potentially have impeded on the ability of regulatory bodies to penalise people who lied on applications, so it is important that that section be deleted.
