‹ Order of Business Criminal Law Sexual Offences Bill
Summary
Deputy Cullinane asks whether the sexual offences Bill will return and whether an abortion referendum is planned; the Taoiseach says the Bill will be restored to the Order Paper the following week.
Is it the intention of the Government to reinstate the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill? The Minister for Justice and Equality said it was the most comprehensive and wide-ranging sexual offences Bill to be introduced in almost a decade.
Is it also the intention of the Government to hold a referendum on repealing the eighth amendment? If that is the policy of the Government, when will the referendum take place?
