An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-22
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

The Cabinet decided this morning to support the Bill. It is good legislation. The Minister for Justice will be happy to support it on behalf of the Government. It may be that the practice is already illegal given that the purchase of sex is illegal in Ireland and there are very clear laws around consent. Perhaps if this provides additional clarity there is something to be gained from it and we will support the Bill on that basis.
