Question:45 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his views on whether Ireland is in default in ratifying the Rome Statute to establish the International Criminal Court; the reason necessary legislation and administrative procedures have not been put in place since signature of the agreement in 1998; the legislative and administrative obstacles which need to be dealt with before ratification; and the timetable for the completion of the necessary ratification measures.
