It is worth noting that in UK jurisdictions that have an offence of stirring up hatred, that is, incitement or hate speech, hatred is not defined except to make it referrable to certain characteristics, as is the case in our law. In respect of the offence of incitement of violence or hatred in section 7, the proposal to amend the wording of the offence to remove all reference to hatred and insert references to incitement of violence, intimidation, hostility or discrimination, I remind Deputies that transposition into Irish law of the European Council framework decision on combating certain forms and expression of racism and xenophobia is a key aim of this Bill, as set out in the Long Title.
This is material that is likely to incite violence or hatred, but the material can simply be sitting on a person's computer and no hatred has been incited.
