Dáil
‹ Order of Business Spent Convictions Bill
Summary
Deputy Michael McNamara again seeks the long-delayed Spent Convictions Bill; the Taoiseach says it reached Report Stage and will investigate the delay.
The Christmas and new year season is almost upon us. People make new year's resolutions and try to move on. I have asked several times about the Spent Convictions Bill which would allow people to leave some convictions behind them and move on with a clean slate. The Taoiseach has given me various replies in the past four years. Are we likely to see the Bill at any point before the end of this Dáil?
