Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Next year springs eternal. I will be as direct and succinct as I can. No. 60 concerns a Bill to provide for the collection and exchange of information relating to the engagement with and sexual exploitation or sexual abuse, or risk thereof, to children. Like all other legislation, it is promised for 2010. Can the Taoiseach indicate whether any activity has been generated on the urgent need for the production of that Bill? Has it been agreed by Cabinet? What action has taken place in recent weeks? Is it agreed that it is a priority? Will he inform the House of its status?
