Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I am glad the Minister for Justice is here because I am returning to the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017. The Department and the Government were under statutory duty to have an independent review of it in 2020. Four years later, that review has not been carried out and since then a decision has been made to depart from an independent review and have the Department's data and research unit do that. I have serious reservations about that. Is the Department on track now to have that completed in autumn, as a previous reply said? Will the review be published, and can the Minister give us a date?
