Proposals to provide for the offence of corporate manslaughter arising from the Law Reform Commission's Report published in October 2005 are included in the Government's Autumn Legislative Programme for 2007. These proposals are at a preliminary stage of examination. In due course, they will be brought to Government for approval after consultations with relevant parties have been completed, in particular with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, where much of the expertise on company and corporate matters resides.
