Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The register of persons who are considered unsafe to work with children Bill has so far concentrated on the development procedures for vetting of convictions through the vetting unit. The development of a register gives rise to a number of policy and practical implementation issues. The Departments of Education and Science and Health and Children have been discussing the matter. The Deputy should table a question to the Ministers of those Departments to obtain an update on those discussions.
