Section 11 of the Transfer of Sentenced Persons Act, 1995 requires me to make a report to the Houses of the Oireachtas on the operation of matters within the Act in the preceding year

I have just received the 2018 Annual Report on the operation of the Transfer of Sentenced Persons Acts 1995 & 1997. I appreciate that the timeframe of 4 months after the end of preceding year for laying the report before the Houses has not been met, but I wish to assure the Deputy that the report will now be published and laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas very shortly.
