The general scheme of the criminal justice (exploitation of children in the commission of offences) Bill 2020 has been published and is expected to undergo pre-legislative scrutiny. Does the Tánasite know the timescale for this to be completed? There is real concern in my constituency that young children are increasingly being groomed to act as drug couriers by criminal elements involved in the drugs trade. The proposed legislation needs to be passed into law as soon as possible.
