Planned legislation publication
Bernard Durkan asks about the criminal records, heritage and adoption information Bills. The Tánaiste says the criminal records and adoption Bills are due this year, while the heritage Bill’s heads have not been cleared.
When will a provision be introduced for the exchange of criminal records information with other EU member states? I am referring to the criminal records (information system) Bill.
When is the heritage (amendment) Bill likely to come before the House? Have any preliminary discussions taken place on the heads of that Bill?
The adoption (tracing and information) Bill has been promised for some time. Have the heads of that legislation been discussed and when is it likely to come before the House?
Comment on this
The criminal records (information system) Bill will be published later this year. The heads of the heritage (amendment) Bill have not yet been cleared by the Government.
What was the third Bill raised?
