A wide range of submissions were considered during the preparation and drafting of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill. These included submissions which I, and my Department, received directly as well as those received via Oireachtas Committees including the Joint Committee on Justice, Equality and Defence. If there are any further submissions which the Deputy would like considered, they can be forwarded to me. I also fully expect the proposals contained in the Bill to be substantially discussed during the course of its passage through the Houses of the Oireachtas.
