Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 June 2021
509. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the status of the interim report of the review of the Special Criminal Court; if she has received a copy; and the date on which she will publish the report. [33382/21]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware an expert Review Group was appointed in February of this year to undertake a review of the Offences against the State Acts. I am grateful to the members for their work to date on this important issue.
I can inform the Deputy that the Chairperson of the Group has indicated that the interim report is under preparation and will be submitted shortly.
I understand the interim report is to provide an update on progress, the methodologies being used and a timescale required for completion of the review. On receipt of the interim report, consideration will be given to its publication.
