NTMA and bail legislation
Bernard Durkan seeks progress on the NTMA amendment Bills and bail legislation; the Taoiseach says the Bills have differing publication timetables and that bail legislation is advanced but undated.
What is the progress with the National Treasury Management Agency (amendment) (No. 1) and (No. 2) Bills? When are they expected to be passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas? Similarly, with regard to an evergreen issue for me, the bail Bill, it might be no harm to give it a little nudge again and ask when it might finally be brought before the House.
Comment on this
The heads of the bail Bill are quite advanced in the Department. They will be brought to the Government and circulated to the committee, but I cannot give the Deputy a date for that. The National Treasury Management Agency (amendment) (No. 1) Bill is due for publication very shortly while the National Treasury Management Agency (amendment) (No. 2) Bill will be published later in this session.
