Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

What is the Minister actually doing about it? He is merely giving us a rundown on the directive. Article 9 of that directive allows for the establishment of a voluntary reporting system, but he has done nothing about it. He states that work is under way to transpose that directive. I received a reply from his Department a few years ago stating that the directive would be transposed. He was required to transpose it by July 2005, yet that has not happened. The Minister is a good while in his job. The directive was supposed to be transposed, so when does he intend to do it?
