Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I am referring to the prisons Bill to enable construction to proceed at Thornton Hall.

A matter which the Minister's colleagues spoke about to some extent but which I do not see on the promised sheet is legislation to deal with spent convictions. Is that a Government promise? Will legislation on this issue be enacted or is it merely the subject matter of statements?
