Fiach MacConghail (Independent)

I welcome the courtesy and the advance notice the Leader gives us when planning debates. It means we can plan our debates better and be more informed.

I draw attention to the important debate we are having this evening on criminalising the purchase of sex. We expected the Minister to come back within the past six months on a commitment for the public consultation process. He has done so and I ask the Leader for a commitment on the date for the end of the consultation process and for the Minister to come back to discuss the next steps.
