Forced labour criminalisation

Summary

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asks when forced labour will be criminalised; the Tánaiste says the Human Trafficking (Amendment) Bill is expected this session.

The Minister for Justice and Equality made a very welcome statement that forced labour will be criminalised under the Criminal Law (Human Trafficking) (Amendment) Bill. When will this Bill come before the House?

Comment on this

I thank Deputy Ó Ríordáin and acknowledge his welcome for the removal of forced labour, which is an entirely outdated concept, from our legislative provision. The Bill is expected this session.
