I wish to raise the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill again. This Bill was introduced in the Seanad and Committee Stage in the Dáil was completed in March 2013. The Bill has profound implications for people who have had convictions imposed on them and who now want to move on with their lives. They are being impeded from doing that due to the lack of legal provision to deal with spent convictions. What has happened to the Bill? For God's sake, can we bring it back into the system and expedite its passage?
