Retention of abuse records

Summary

Peter Fitzpatrick asks when legislation preserving records from child-abuse investigations and redress bodies will be published. The Taoiseach says no publication date has been fixed.

When can we expect the retention of certain records Bill - the purpose of which is to allow for the retention of the records of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, the Residential Institutions Redress Board and the Residential Institutions Review Committee - to be published?

There is no date for the publication of the retention of certain records Bill. I cannot inform him with regard to the amount of work that has been done on the preparation of the heads of that Bill. A date has not yet been fixed for the legislation.
