Probation service Bill
Bernard Durkan asked when the probation service Bill, including the EU framework decision provisions, would be introduced; the Taoiseach said its heads had not reached Cabinet and that the Bill would probably come next year.
On promised legislation, will the Taoiseach outline plans for the reform of the probation service? When will the probation service Bill be introduced to give effect to an EU framework decision? Have the heads of the Bill been discussed by the Cabinet?
Comment on this
Traditionally, it has been acceptable to inquire about the whereabouts of a Bill and whether the heads have been discussed by the Cabinet and ask when it is likely that legislation will be introduced in the House.
