Officials from the General Registers Office, which operates under the aegis of my Department, have engaged with the Department of Justice on this matter. A number of operational issues have been identified which need to be progressed prior to the commencement of this section of the Act.

Engagement between officials will continue on these issues.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
