Spent Convictions Bill

Summary

Deputy Maloney asks whether the Spent Convictions Bill can return this session; the Tánaiste says it awaits Report Stage scheduling by the Whips.

The Ceann Comhairle will recall that last spring Members debated the Spent Convictions Bill in this Chamber. While I recognise there were some obstacles in the way of the Bill proceeding, I understand they have been overcome. Consequently, is there any prospect of having the Bill back in the House this session?

Comment on this

The Spent Convictions Bill is awaiting Report Stage in this House. Therefore, it is a matter for the Whips to schedule the Bill, obviously in consultation with the Minister and spokespersons.
