Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

A Bill was published a number of years ago which is now awaiting Committee Stage. However, I have been informed that the scale of amendments being submitted is such that the Minister for Justice and Equality is considering drafting an entirely new Bill. I will give the Deputy on update on that as soon as possible but so many amendments have been tabled that it may be impractical to proceed with the Bill in its current form.
