Officials from my Department are currently considering the recommendations of the report, and how they can best be progressed, in conjunction with relevant Government Departments.

I intend to come back to Government later in the year seeking approval to legislate, based on the outcome of the discussions with other Departments, and in due course, the Attorney General; and to lay my own report on the review before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
