Planned Criminal Law Legislation

Summary

Taylor seeks a timetable for criminal-law Bills; the Minister points to the Law Reform Commission’s report on handling stolen goods and asks Taylor to submit a separate question for details.

Will the Minister indicate to the House what law reform measures in the area of criminal law are likely to come before the House, with approximate dates?

Comment on this

I do not think I can give the Deputy that information in the way he wants it. I understand the commission have given priority to the question of handling stolen goods and they have recently published a report on this topic.

Comment on this

I am not talking about the commission. I am asking what legislation is the Minister proposing to bring before the House in the area of reform of criminal law? What Bills on what subjects does he propose to introduce and what approximate timescale can he give?

That is a separate matter.

I suggest to the Deputy that if he puts down a separate question on that matter I will give him the information he is looking for.

It is within the ambit of his question.
