Local Minister James Browne TD has seen his first piece of legislation signed into Law since becoming a Minister for State at the Department of Justice.

Minister Browne commented,

“I am delighted to see my first Act signed into Law as a Minister of State in the Department of Justice. President Higgins has signed The Criminal Justice (Mutual Recognition of Decisions on Supervision Measures) Bill into Law.

I will shortly be bringing forward legislation which deals with money laundering and terrorist financing, am in the process of drafting legislation on gambling reform and I am preparing to publish the new National Youth Justice Strategy. I hope to have much of this work progressed this side of Christmas and we have a full legislative plan for 2021.

It is a privilege and honour to see this Bill become Law as my first piece of legislation as a Minister of State. I will continue my work in the Department of Justice and Government to improve the Laws and regulations from my Department.”
