EU Regulations: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2021-10-20
============================================================

Vincent P. Martin (GP), Nominated by the Taoiseach

On behalf of the Green Party, Comhaontas Glas, I confirm the party's support for this motion. A previous contributor commented that where crime should be, the State should be. That may be the case but it is often a reaction rather than being proactive. It is easy for me to say from the Seanad Chamber but if at all possible we must get ahead of the criminals who are so sophisticated in their lust for greed. Human life means nothing to them.
I also agree with the comments that this Chamber has great potential to devote much more time to important initiatives and directives from Europe. It is an exciting development that we will see in the Upper House in the months and, I hope, years to come.
