Bail and criminal law Bills
Deputy Durkan asks about the bail, human trafficking and sexual offences Bills. The Taoiseach says the latter two are scheduled for next year and will follow up on the timetable for the bail Bill.
On promised legislation, the Taoiseach should indicate the progress to date in bringing the bail Bill before the House. It has been mooted for quite a long time, as has the criminal (law human trafficking) (amendment) Bill and the criminal law (sexual offences) Bill. Where have they been scheduled? Have they been rescheduled or have the heads been cleared?
Comment on this
The Bill in respect of human trafficking is scheduled for next year, as is the criminal law (sexual offences) Bill. I apologise but I do not have a date to hand in respect of the bail Bill but I will follow it up for the Deputy.
