248. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to legislate to ensure there is passport-free travel for qualifying persons travelling within the Common Travel Area; his views on a Bill regarding this issue (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25067/14]
View answerThe Deputy's Private Members' Bill proposes an amendment to the Immigration Acts, which fall under the remit of the Department of Justice and Equality. However, the Bill does have implications for my department in terms of transport and tourism. Given that the Bill was only been published on the 5th of July, I have not yet had the opportunity to consider those implications fully.
