Victims’ rights Bill and Traveller housing attack

Summary

Deputy McGrath asks about the victims’ rights Bill while condemning the burning of a Traveller family’s allocated home in Donegal. The Taoiseach gives no publication date; the Ceann Comhairle records the Deputy’s concern.

The criminal justice (victims' rights) Bill strengthens the rights of victims of crime and their families. Will the Taoiseach join with me in deploring the attack on a Traveller house in Donegal yesterday? It is a disgraceful situation where a family was allocated this house which was burned down.

Will the Taoiseach join with me in deploring that and calling on all public representatives to show leadership, particularly when it comes to housing a family?

We note the Deputy's concern. I call on Deputy Stanley.

So the Taoiseach will not join with me?
