Spent convictions legislation

Summary

Derek Keating seeks an update on spent-convictions legislation; the Taoiseach says it is awaiting Report Stage while amendments are being considered.

What is the current status of the spent convictions legislation, an issue I have raised before? It sets out to deal with what are often very minor misdemeanours in which people might have engaged a very long time ago but which can have consequences today when travelling, etc.?

I will revert to the Deputy on that issue. The Bill is awaiting Report Stage and there were a number of amendments being considered during the course of the summer. I will advise the Deputy on the current state of play.
