Charities, tax agreements and bail Bills
Bernard Durkan seeks timelines for full implementation of the Charities Act, international tax-agreements legislation and the bail Bill. The Tánaiste says the first and third remain under preparation, while the tax legislation is expected next year.
When is it expected that all sections of the Charities Act 2009 will be fully operational and implemented? The international tax agreements Bill is proposed but when is it likely to come before the House? I have mentioned my old friend, the bail Bill, on numerous occasions, even when people on the other side of the House were on this side. Could its progress be in any way expedited?

I understand the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Shatter, is working on the Charities Act. The international tax agreements legislation is expected next year. The Minister, Deputy Shatter, is also working on the preparation of the bail Bill and it will come before the Government when he completes the preparation.
