Criminal records information Bill

Summary

Ray Butler asked when legislation enabling international criminal-record exchanges would be published; the Taoiseach said it would not appear until 2016.

May I ask the Taoiseach when can we expect publication of the criminal records information system Bill to provide for the exchange of criminal records information with other States and to implement the Council framework decision? As we have seen from the events of the last few days this Bill is needed now more than ever.

The Bill will not be published this year. For the information of the Deputy it will obviously be in 2016.
