Vol. 640 No. 3

Spent Convictions Bill 2007: First Stage.

Deputy Barry Andrews

I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide that certain convictions may be regarded as spent for certain purposes where the convicted person has not been convicted of any other offence within specified periods of years, and to provide for related matters.

An Ceann Comhairle

Is the Bill opposed?

Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach (Deputy Tom Kitt)

No.

Question put and agreed to.

An Ceann Comhairle

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

Deputy Barry Andrews

I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."

Question put and agreed to.
