Scrap metal legislation

Summary

Mattie McGrath asks for progress on promised legislation following his rejected scrap-metal and gold Bill; the Taoiseach says the Minister is still considering it and will provide an update.

I also welcome the announcement on the holding of the referendum on children's rights. Last year I introduced a Private Members' Bill on scrap metal and gold. It was rejected by the Minister but he promised that he would bring forward a report that would lead to legislation. Where is that? Many householders and premises have been destroyed since then and it is a shame to see this happening.
