Given the ever-increasing evidence of the number of crimes, sometimes a multiplicity of crimes, being committed by persons while on bail, might it be possible to bring the bail Bill before the House with some urgency? Similarly, I refer to the proposed legislation to deal with corporate crime. Both Bills are required as a matter of urgency. When might they appear before the House?

I spoke to the Minister for Justice and Equality on the last occasion the Deputy raised the bail Bill. There is a great deal of pressure, given the amount of technical legislation in the Department of Justice and Equality. The corporate crime Bill is due later this year. I will ask the Minister to respond to the Deputy in regard to the extent of the completed work in respect of the bail Bill.

I thank the Taoiseach.
