Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
Complex policy issues arise in respect of the national vetting bureau Bill. However, the Bill is being treated with priority by the Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. In conjunction with the Department of Justice and Law Reform, the latter is drafting the heads of the Bill for submission by the Minister to Government at the earliest possible date.
Work is ongoing in respect of the referendum on children's rights. The Minister has brought the matter to the attention of the relevant committee and he will be reverting to the latter in due course. I cannot provide a commitment until matters have been progressed further.
