Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person (Amendment) (Stalking) Bill 2021: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-09-22
============================================================

Maria Byrne (FG), Agricultural Panel

Apologies, I was at another meeting.
I support the Bill and I compliment my Fianna Fáil colleagues on bringing it forward. We have all come across people who have been harassed or stalked by people.
It is not a very pleasant experience, which is the whole sentiment of what is before us tonight. I welcome that the Minister of State and the Government are not opposing the Bill. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the future in that regard.
