The current position is that officials from my Department are still considering the recommendations of the report of the Review Group, and how they can best be progressed, in conjunction with relevant Government Departments.

I intend to come back to Government early this year seeking approval to legislate, based on the outcome of these discussions and consultation with the Attorney General; and to lay my own report on the review before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
