Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 July 2018
296. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of the outstanding recommendations of the McMahon report implemented further to the final progress report published in June 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30123/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe final report on the implementation of the McMahon recommendations was published by my Department last July and is available along with the two other item by item progress reports on my Department's website.
The final Report noted that 98% of the recommendations had been fully implemented or were in progress. The remaining 2% have been surpassed by events such as the progressive reforms arising from our recent opting in to the recast Receptions Conditions Directive and the commencement of the International Protection Act 2015.
No further reports will be issued by my Department in its informal role as monitor, as a result of the excellent rate of implementation reported last year and the roll out of the subsequent programme of reform being pursued by the Government. Individual recommendations remain the responsibility of the individual Departments or agencies as set out in the Report.
