DNA database legislation

Summary

Ann Phelan asks when legislation establishing a DNA database will be published; Joan Burton expects it later this year.

In view of the discussion which has taken place in the Chamber this morning on criminality, when will we have a date of publication for the legislation which will recognise that the establishment of a DNA database has a hugely significant role to play in solving crime?

Comment on this

I understand that legislation will be available and brought before the House later this year.
