Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Defence

Section 66 of the Defence Forces (Evidence) Act 2022 provides for a review of the operation of Parts 6 and 7 of the Act not later than 6 years after the commencement of that section. None of the other Acts passed by my Department since 2000 have review periods.
