Criminal procedure and data-sharing Bills

Summary

Deputy Durkan seeks progress on the criminal procedure and data-sharing Bills; the Tánaiste has no publication date for either.

Bernard Durkan Deputy Bernard J. Durkan Fine Gael

I wish to raise two items of legislation promised for some time. One is the criminal procedure Bill which is to reform the pre-trial process and hopefully speed it up and identify the issues that cause delays. Has this come to Cabinet, have the heads been discussed or approved and when is it likely to come before the House?

Another important tranche of legislation promised is the data sharing Bill which relates to sharing of data between specified Government agencies on the regulation of business to ensure the elimination of potential area for conflict.

Deputy Durkan asked about two tranches of legislation. I do not have a date for the publication of either.
