Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence
Dail Éireann — 2023-07-11
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

My question is very specific. It is to ask the Minister the status of the independent review of Part 4 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017, which was due for completion. The latest answer was that it would be complete the end of last year but really it was due for completion in 2020, three years after the law became operational. There was the three-month period. It is now three years later and there is no sign of it. Where is the report? Does the Minister have it? When will it be published and could she explain the reason for the delay?
