Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person (Amendment) (Stalking) Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-01-27
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I thank the Minister for her help and co-operation and for that of the Department. I commend Senator Chambers and all those who have supported her and helped in this legislation. To outline how enormous a task it is for a Senator to have legislation passed, fewer than 20 Private Members' Bills by Senators have been passed in 100 years. Senator Chambers is truly joining an elite club and I congratulate her. It has been done only by pure persistence and the co-operation of all Members and, of course, the Minister and the Department. This important legislation needs to be passed. I commend the Senator on her relentless and tenacious effort. Without it this would not have been done.
