Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-21
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Deputy Gannon asked a question. I would like an opportunity to reply without the ongoing heckling from the Deputy opposite, which is not constructive. There could be further legislation. There has been an ongoing issue, apart from this issue, with access to records, which was debated in the previous Dáil with the then Minister for Children and Youth Affairs and which was not quite resolved. In my view, there is a desire to try to get this resolved after this legislation, which preserves the records, is dealt with. It is not the case that this is the legislation on its own and that is the end of the matter. That is my understanding of how the Minister sees this.
