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

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 9:
In page 10, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:
“(5) The possession or control of a fraudulent travel or identity document with the intention that it shall be used for the purpose of assisting the entry into, transit across or presence in a designated state of another person, shall not be an offence in cases where the other person is a family member and the person in possession or control of the documents is themselves being smuggled.”.
I will withdraw it, while reserving the right to reintroduce.
