‹ Order of Business Criminal justice corruption Bill
Summary
Peter Fitzpatrick asks when the corruption legislation will be published. The Taoiseach gives no date, saying its heads are before the Justice Committee for analysis.
When can we expect the criminal justice (corruption) Bill to be published? It is to consolidate and reform all the relevant legislation - the Prevention of Corruption Acts 1889 to 2010 - in one statute.
Comment on this
I do not have a date for the publication of that Bill. The heads have been referred to the Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality for discussion. The Minister expects to see the committee's reflections in due course. The heads of the Bill have gone to the committee for its analysis as part of the change to engage more people in drafting legislation.
