White-collarcrime to top law reform agenda

The Law Reform Commission has said it will focus on a series of issues including new ways of tackling white-collar crime and cyberbullying in its fourth programme of deliberations.

Law Reform Commissioner Finola Flanagan said both issues had come up “repeatedly” in submissions to the commission, while other issues such as the specific offence of grooming would also be considered.

Eleven topics have been chosen for examination by the commission, with beefed-up laws on white-collar crime at the top of the agenda.
