Criminal justice corruption Bill
Thomas Broughan asks about the corruption Bill and the unresolved Priory Hall situation; the Taoiseach says the Bill’s heads are before committee and Priory Hall remains tied up in court.
Will the Taoiseach indicate the status of the criminal justice (corruption) Bill? As we approach the end of the session and enter into the third year in which there has been no resolution for the residents of Priory Hall, is there any prospect of an announcement in that regard? Given that the Taoiseach has a personal interest in the matter, will he undertake to give clarity on the matter?
Comment on this
The heads of the criminal justice (corruption) Bill have been referred to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality. I inquired this morning about the ongoing situation in regard to Priory Hall and am sorry to tell the Deputy that it is still tied up in the courts. I hope it will begin moving a little more rapidly toward a conclusion for the people involved.
