Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

My question is very specific. I ask about the status of the independent review of Part 4 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017. I ask this because under that Act there is an obligation on the Minister for Justice to carry out an independent review and report three years after the Act came into operation. We are years behind now. We have been given many dates, none of which has been complied with. We were told it would be ready in quarter 3 of 2021, early 2022, mid-2022, end of 2022 and finally sometime this year. I ask the Minister to tell me specifically where the report is.
