Criminal Justice (Smuggling of Persons) Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-10-07
============================================================

Barry Ward (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I understand where the Senators are coming from. Given the Long Title makes it clear what this Bill is and the link into the international treaties and agreements to which we are subject, I wonder if this is necessary. I acknowledge what Senator Ruane has said but I would be interested to hear what the Minister of State has to say. I would have thought that this is probably covered by what is in the Bill.
