Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2018
278. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 282 of 18 September 2018, if he will provide a full reply and-or instruct An Garda Síochána to issue a full response in view of the fact that other State bodies can provide parliamentary question replies in ten days or less; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46987/18]
View answerIt is regrettable that it has not been possible to provide the information sought in relation to the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017 as quickly as might be desired.
The Deputy will appreciate that this information is not compiled in my Department which must request the relevant data from An Garda Síochána. However, I hope that the Deputy can appreciate that every effort is made to provide a comprehensive and informative response as quickly as possible.
I have asked that the matter be raised at a senior level with Garda management and will revert to the Deputy as soon as possible.
