Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 2006 [DOC] [74] While noting the Sex Offenders Act of 2001 that
provides with a comprehensive protection of the public against sex offenders,
the Committee is concerned about the lack of information concerning children
victims of prostitution and on child pornography. Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 1998 [5] The Committee commends the
numerous efforts and concrete measures taken by the State party to protect
children from sexual exploitation, including sex tourism. The Committee also
especially welcomes the enactment of the Sexual Offences (Jurisdiction) Act
of 1996 and the drafting of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Bill of
1997, which, inter alia, awards jurisdiction to domestic courts to prosecute
citizens and/or residents who engaged in child sex tourism abroad as well as
those who organize and publicize child sex tourism in the State party. Man

launched last week - htcp State in child-trafficking risk - ISPCC www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2006/1117/breaking43.htm Ireland could become a gateway for
the trafficking of children because it does not follow best
international practice to safeguard children at risk, the Irish Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC) claimed today. The ISPCC expressed concern that the
Government is not doing enough to protect separated children entering the
country. Separated children are minors, generally between 15 and 17, who
enter the country unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. According to the ISPCC, fewer than 5 per
cent of these children are identified at a port of entry, and more than 316
separated children have gone missing in Ireland in the past four years. The Protection Project - Ireland [DOC] FORMS OF TRAFFICKING - As many as 40 children a year

Minister launched the National Children’s Strategy, a comprehensive plan
involving government and non-governmental partners. One of the plan’s
objectives is to protect children from abuse and exploitation, and it calls
for the implementation of the Stockholm Agenda for Action, including the
development of a national plan of action against CSEC. It also calls for the
enactment of a Children’s Bill and a Sex Offenders Bill, and the development
of treatment and counseling services for child victims of abuse. Report
by Special Rapporteur [DOC] [48] Sale and trafficking of children
for purposes connected to slavery are criminalized under the Slave Trade Act
of 1824 and under the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act of 1998 it is an
offence to traffic in or abduct children for the purpose of sexual
exploitation. Prostitution itself is not an offence, but soliciting in the
streets, or living off the earnings of another’s prostitution constitutes an
offence. Criminal liability is incurred regardless of the age of
the prostitute or client. The Children’s Act of 2001 provides a framework of
safeguards stipulating how children must be treated in police custody and the
operation and special proceedings of the Children’s Court. Factbook
