============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. The general scheme of the Bill has been published by the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee. There will be a process of engagement, including, of course, with the relevant Oireachtas committee during the pre-legislative scrutiny phase. I anticipate that all the stakeholders that the Deputy referenced will be given an opportunity by the committee to make their views known, to come before the committee and to make submissions. It will then be a matter for the members of the committee to form a view on balance as to the appropriate way forward. That report will then come to the Minister for a decision.
