Criminal records information system

Summary

Noel Grealish links rising gang burglaries to the need for the criminal records information system Bill; the Taoiseach says it will be published early next year.

I will be brief. An increasing number of burglaries across the country are being carried out by gangs from eastern Europe. I know of one situation in which many of those involved had criminal records in their home countries and one who was on the run.

It sounds like a Topical Issue matter to me.

One had a murder conviction and was in Ireland. When will No. 47, the criminal records information system Bill, be before the House? It is an important Bill.

It is an important Bill, Deputy Grealish, and it will be early next year before it is published.
