A garda can stop and ask your details which you are not obliged to answer. The garda has two grounds to arrest you 1 is under the criminal justice act section 4 but in this instance he cant as for that law the offence under suspicion has to carry 5 years imprison, people who want to argue please check it first, its section 4 criminal justice act 1984.
The second way he can is under the sex offences act 1993 which is the one the new law is inserting new paragraphs into.under this law the garda can detain or arrest someone under sections 4,6,7,8,10 the only one which could be used in this instance is section 6.under this section the garda must reasonably suspect that a person has solicited another person for sex, how can any garda swear to that in court without having even observed who it was you spoke to.
Can everyone stop giving legal opinions unless it is accompanied with some facts, i am not a solicitor but familiar with some of these laws through my work. Everyone can check them out for themselves everything is on line these days.
Also no one has comment on the fact that the new bill which runs for over 100 pages has two paragraphs only in it on the plan to make purchasing sex illegal.The rest of the bill is excellent, well over due legislation to protect everyone from kids to the disabled etc.
Again posters are making out that the bill is all about this, its not.
