The Criminal Justice (Hate Crime) Bill 2021 could be further amended to include more reference to hate speech online, given that the Internet is ‘ideally positioned for the dissemination of hate speech’.21 It should also expand its definition of ‘hatred’ to include newer harmful practices, such as those named by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission above.
