Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 February 2009
268 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will make amendments to the law regarding incest offences committed by women; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3103/09]
View answerI am currently reviewing the criminal law governing sexual offences for the purpose of providing greater protection to children and other vulnerable persons against sexual exploitation and abuse. If in the course of this review the need for reform of the incest laws is identified, I will bring proposals to Government for approval to amend those laws accordingly.
