Criminal law sexual offences Bill

Summary

Mattie McGrath asks whether the sexual offences Bill will address alleged advice by the Irish Family Planning Association and seeks an update on related investigations. The Tánaiste says the Bill should come before the House during the session.

Will the Tánaiste clarify whether the criminal law (sexual offences) Bill, the aim of which is to protect vulnerable persons from abuse, will explicitly make provision to prevent the Irish Family Planning Association from giving illegal and dangerous advice to vulnerable young women?

Could we have an update on the investigation by An Garda Síochána and the HSE into the misleading and dangerous information that was given out? What is the status of the investigation and when is it to conclude?
