Criminal justice and hospital legislation
Mattie McGrath asks about a meeting between the Justice Minister and Omagh-bombing victims’ families and raises confusion over children’s hospital legislation. The Taoiseach gives the status of the relevant Bills and promises to confirm whether the Minister has met the families.
On the criminal justice (miscellaneous provisions) Bill, I ask the Taoiseach to inform the House whether the Minister for Justice and Equality has met the families of victims of the Omagh bombing. The previous Minister promised such a meeting, but it did not happen.

We have heard statements from the Minister for Health on the children's hospital and the twin approach to both planning applications. On the medical paediatric hospital development board, is this a Government position or is the Minister flying a kite? Is there a sense of having both hospitals -----

I am referring to the medical practitioners hospital development board (amendment) Bill. It is on the list.

The entire situation regarding the site for the children's hospital is very confusing.

The medical practitioners board Bill is awaiting Committee Stage in the Seanad. The criminal justice (miscellaneous provisions) Bill is due late next year.
