Terrorism Bill

The hon. Gentleman has conceded that his own position is ridiculous. Any celebration of the Easter rising by the Taoiseach would not be done with intent to incite others to commit acts of terrorism or even with subjective recklessness. The Government’s wording requires the statement to be one "““from which . . . members of the public could reasonably be expected to infer that what is being glorified is being glorified as conduct that should be emulated””—" the hon. Gentleman’s word— "““by them in existing circumstances.””" The Taoiseach’s remarks simply would not be caught by this law.
