Bail and gambling legislation

Summary

Brendan Griffin seeks urgent progress on the bail Bill and asks when the gambling control Bill will be published. The Taoiseach says gambling legislation is planned for next year and that preparatory work on the bail Bill continues.

When will the bail Bill be progressed? I am very concerned by what I am hearing about crimes being committed by people on bail. That is something at which we need to look. We need to try to prioritise the introduction of that Bill to address the matter. What is the timeframe for the gambling control Bill? When will it be published?

The gambling control Bill will be introduced next year. A great deal of work has been done on the preparation of the heads of the bail Bill in the Department of Justice and Equality. It has not reached a point where it will be brought to Cabinet.
