Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: A message will be sent to the Seanad acquainting it accordingly.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Bill that passed in 1989 passed because it was explained thoroughly what the Members of the House were voting for and it was done in the right way. This Bill before us is putting in no limits or restrictions and what things the Government is hinting at. It is an open book. The people of Ireland do not trust those in the Government enough to give them an open book, and that is what it...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: No matter how hateful it is.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I did not mention hatred. I did not interrupt Deputy Murphy.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I did not interrupt the Deputy. I just said, “No matter how hateful it is.”

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: None of us condone hatred of any creed or description. It can be interpreted differently when the laws are being enforced due to the Government not explaining thoroughly what it is actually hitting at. It is covering everything with this. We do not know what we cannot say or what we can do, but the Government will find a way to cover it. Then, a fellow will pay the piper if the tune does...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I simply will not take any lectures from Sinn Féin. For the record, I always opposed section 31. Probably at the very outset, it might have been needed but it kept going on and on and it was impossible. The problem we had the last number of years, until lately when Sinn Féin was found out, is that we could not get its members off the airwaves.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Pa Daly: We will check the Deputy's voting record on section 31.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Please do. We could not get them off the radio and the television. They were the darlings of the media but it was a case of empty vessels. There was nothing behind it and they have been found out now. It is banana skins and no policies, just diktats from Belfast. I always listen to Deputy Howlin. I respect his long service and his always very well thought-out words but certainly on...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Helen McEntee: I answered the Deputy's question.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: The Minister did not answer the question on this. Under current legislation, there are safeguards in place that would prevent this from happening but under this proposed legislation there is nothing to safeguard a person's reputation and liberty if they fall victim to such a cloning scam. It is very possible, as the Minister knows. How would it be possibly proven in a court of law that a...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Deputy, I am very reluctant to interfere with any Member but it is not fair to make criticisms of the Commissioner who is not here to defend himself.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I accept that. I am just quoting-----

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I know what you are quoting but you are a fair person and you should not make charges which the man is not here to defend himself against.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Well I did it in the meeting with the man and he would not answer my questions some years ago. He has had plenty of time to do that, and plenty of spin. He walked down the main thoroughfare of our capital city flanked by several other gardaí for a show of, contempt for the people actually, because they know themselves that people are terrified. They are not my words but those of his...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Brendan Howlin: I agree with virtually every word the Minister just uttered, yet the suite of amendments we are discussing is to eviscerate the very protections this House passed. It is just taking them out because of pressure, and that is a simple fact. The Minister's powerful words are right. This is to protect vulnerable minorities that are fully part of our society, and to prevent people from...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Pa Daly: I remember being struck by a group of foreign students who came in to the audiovisual room to give their experiences of the level of violence that is inflicted on them. The attacks and the violence inflicted upon them was shameful. The main benefit of the hate crime element of this Bill is that it sends a strong statement about attacks against those foreign students or people who are LGBT...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Deputy Danny Healy-Rae purports to speak for the people who went out and fought in 1916. My grandparents fought in 1916. My grandfather was interned. I do not think he would take the same view as the Deputy in respect of a lot of things.
