‹ Order of Business Criminal records and trusts Bills
Summary
Bernard Durkan requested progress on the criminal records and trusts Bills; the Taoiseach expected the criminal records Bill early the following year and promised to provide a timetable for the trusts legislation.
On promised legislation, what is the progress on the criminal records Bill, which relates to the exchange of criminal records between this country, other European countries and other jurisdictions? Similarly, what is the progress of the trusts Bill, which is to protect the assets of trusts? I understand that particular legislation should be brought before the House as soon as possible for very compelling reasons. In both cases, when are the Bills likely to appear before the House?
