825. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Justice when she plans to bring forward the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill 2023 following the publication of the pre-legislative scrutiny report. [12067/24]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill 2023 underwent pre-legislative scrutiny in February of this year.
At present, the Bill is undergoing drafting, and officials in my Department are engaged with their colleagues in the Office of Parliamentary Counsel. It is my intention to publish the Bill as soon as practicable after the drafting process is complete, in order to introduce the Bill into the House.
