Written Answers. - European Convention on Human Rights.
As I said in my reply to Question No. 114 today, I hope to be in a position to deposit the instrument of ratification of protocol seven at an early date. Once the process of formal ratification has been completed, incorporation of the protocol into Irish law can then be considered.
