11. The Minister shall, on an annual basis following the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas detailing—
(a) the estimated number of victims of human trafficking identified under this Act, the methodology used to produce the estimate and potential alternative methods of estimation which may produce a more accurate result,

(b) a summary of the outcomes for smuggled persons identified under this Act, including what proportion of smuggled persons sought or were granted asylum and sought or were granted another form of international protection in the State, and

(c) the number of persons in the previous year found guilty of an offence under this Act, and a summary of the sentences imposed under this Act.".
