Climate and bail legislation

Summary

Bernard Durkan requests progress on the climate action Bill and the delayed bail Bill. The Tánaiste expects the climate legislation this session but has no date for the bail Bill.

When is it expected to bring the promised climate action and low carbon development Bill before the House? Have the heads been approved by Cabinet and will it be passed by the end of the session?

I have previously raised the bail Bill in the past and I am sure the Tánaiste is also concerned about it. It seems to have moved somewhat into the dim and distant future. Is it intended to bring the Bill before the House as early as possible? The legislation is still pertinent and the matter of bail needs to be addressed.

Comment on this

I am happy to say the climate action and low carbon development Bill is on the A list and I anticipate it will be dealt with in this session. The heads were cleared in April and I am happy to say the Government is proceeding with it. There is no date set as yet for the bail Bill.
