Alcohol and criminal legal aid Bills
Deputy Durkan requested timetables for the sale of alcohol and criminal justice legal aid Bills; the Taoiseach promised to provide further information.
I wish to inquire about the current position on the sale of alcohol Bill which has been promised and is much sought after. I understand its introduction was conditional on certain legal cases being dealt with in other jurisdictions. When is it likely to be brought before the House and when is it likely to become law?
What is the position on the criminal justice (legal aid) Bill which is No. 54 on the list?
Comment on this
I will have to come back to the Deputy on that issue. A great deal of work has been done on the sale of alcohol Bill, but I cannot give the Deputy a fix on it.
Was the second question about the Legal Services Regulation Bill or the criminal justice (legal aid) Bill?
