‹ Order of Business Sexual offences and EirGrid Bills
Summary
Bernard Durkan asks about legislation protecting children and vulnerable adults from sexual exploitation and about the EirGrid Bill. The Taoiseach says the criminal law Bill is due later in the year, while the EirGrid legislation is listed for next year.
I wish to inquire about promised legislation to prevent the sexual exploitation of children and vulnerable adults. Have the heads of the Bill been cleared and when is it likely to come before the House? I have a similar question on the EirGrid Bill.
Comment on this
The heads of the Bill were cleared in December. The criminal law (sexual offences) Bill is due for publication later this year.
