The text of the criminal justice (withholding of information on crimes against children and vulnerable adults) Bill has not been finalised and discussions with the Attorney General on the matter are on going. However there are no plans to include any specific references to priests or journalists in the Bill. Work is proceeding with a view to publication of the Bill before the end of this session.
