The Spent Convictions Bill 2007 completed Second Stage in this House on 18 December 2008. Work is under way on the preparation of Committee Stage amendments. My colleague, Mr. Barry Andrews, TD, Minister for Children, expects to be in a position to publish the amendments early in the next term and he hopes that Committee Stage can take place shortly thereafter.
