In accordance with Standing Order 101, the following message will be sent to the Dáil:
The Select Committee on Justice has completed its consideration of the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2020 without amendment.
As there is time, I will invite the Minister of State to make some closing remarks if he wishes.
I thank the Cathaoirleach and the Deputies for facilitating the Bill through Committee Stage today. At the time of my appointment last September we were significantly behind on several transpositions but we have made significant progress with several Bills. My thanks to the Seanad, Dáil and committees for facilitating us. I am confident that by the summer, if not the autumn, we will have all the backlog in transpositions addressed. My thanks to everyone again for their support.
Thank you, Minister of State. We will certainly work with you on that to expedite any other matters of a similar nature. That concludes our deliberation for today. The joint committee will hold a private meeting in the coming days or week to consider other matters but today's business is at an end.
