Pending lobbying and probation Bills
Bernard Durkan asks when lobbying and probation legislation will be published. The Taoiseach says the lobbying Bill is due this session and the probation Bills later this year.
What is the status of the regulation of lobbying Bill?
Two probation Bills are proposed, the criminal law probation supervision mutual recognition Bill and the probation services Bill. They both relate to European directives to be transposed into Irish legislation. When are those Bills likely to come before the House? When are they likely to be passed and come into law? The decisions go back as far as 2008.
