Garda compensation legislation
Michael Healy-Rae asks about the Garda compensation Bill and criticises the treatment of Gardaí who faced court proceedings at their own expense. The Taoiseach repeatedly confirms that the Bill is due for publication this session, declining to engage the wider criticism.
I ask the Taoiseach the status of the Garda Síochána compensation Bill. We do not want a repeat of the events that occurred in the past few weeks whereby members of the force were left out to dry by the Minister for Justice and Equality and had to face the courts at their own expense. They were let down by their Minister. What does the Taoiseach have to say about that matter?

What about the way the members of An Garda Síochána were treated by the Minister for Justice and Equality in the past few weeks? The Taoiseach knows about it.

The Taoiseach heard the question. There is nothing wrong with his ears.
