Spent convictions legislation

Summary

Derek Keating asks when the Spent Convictions Bill will progress, citing the lasting effects of a youthful offence. The Taoiseach says it awaits Report Stage in the Dáil.

I wish to ask the Taoiseach about the progress of promised legislation, the Spent Convictions Bill, which is important legislation for quite a number of people. I met a resident recently who had broken a pane of glass when he was 17 years of age which was well over 40 years ago, and that has had ramifications and implications for himself and his family in the context of travelling ever since.

This is an important Bill. It has been through the Seanad and is awaiting Report Stage in the Dáil. The Whip will let the Deputy know when it can be arranged.
