I am loath to raise this matter again but, given the fact that issues relating to bail and its ready availability seem to be in the public arena in respect of other matters discussed in the Chamber today, and also given that I have raised this issue consistently for the past three years and, prior to that, for ten years in opposition, might it be possible to bring the relevant legislation before the House as a matter of extreme urgency? Otherwise, we may well be revisiting some of the issues now being discussed, much to the detriment of the respective systems.

Deputy Durkan has raised this on a number of occasions. It is an important piece of legislation. As I understand it, the drafting of the heads is at an advanced stage in the Department of Justice and Equality. I know that that is a statement. I need to find out a little more as to what that actually means, but we would like to get this to Government so that it could go back to the committee for public engagement. I will come back to Deputy Durkan.

I thank the Taoiseach.
