Criminal Justice (Withholding of Information on Offences Against Children and Vulnerable Persons) Bill 2012: Second Stage

 

This Bill clearly states that it is in addition to and not in substitution for any other reporting requirements. This recognises that the requirement to report information to the Garda and the requirement to report information to the HSE are separate and distinct measures which are necessary to protect children and vulnerable persons. I am also pleased to inform the House that I will publish shortly the Bill to place the vetting of persons working with children and vulnerable adults on a statutory basis.
