My question relates to the criminal justice (victims rights) Bill. The Fr. Niall Molloy case and the situation of the Omagh bomb victims are two issues on which the Taoiseach had some engagement with the families involved before coming into office.

We cannot debate the details of legislation.

This is very important because we are talking about people who suffered terrible wrongs.

The Deputy will have an opportunity to debate the issues when the Bill comes before the House.

The Taoiseach promised these people everything. Now, however, just as he refuses to debate his proposal to abolish the Seanad, he also refuses to meet these people. Will the Tánaiste give a commitment to meet them?

The Deputy should raise the issue by way of a parliamentary question.

It is a very serious issue.

The criminal justice (victims rights) Bill will serve to strengthen the rights of victims of crime and their families and give effect to a proposed EU directive. Preliminary work on the Bill is under way, but it is not possible to indicate a publication date at this stage.
