Spent convictions Bill

Summary

Charlie McConalogue asks when the Spent Convictions Bill will complete its remaining stages; Joan Burton says the Whips will discuss its scheduling shortly.

I note that the Committee Stage debate on the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012 has concluded in the Seanad. The Bill in question has been in gestation for over one year at this stage. How quickly can we expect it to proceed through the remaining Stages and actually be brought into law?

Comment on this

I understand the Bill is to be discussed at a forthcoming Whips' meeting. Therefore, I do not have a date for it at this point. The Whips will discuss it shortly.
