Bail Bill progression
Bernard Durkan asks that the bail Bill be advanced because of crimes allegedly committed on bail; the Taoiseach says its heads are expected shortly, and Durkan thanks him.
In respect of recent comments about crimes being committed by people on bail, would it be possible to nudge the bail Bill forward from its present position in the Government legislation programme under section C to a more prominent position, where it might receive early treatment?

There is a bit of a miracle here. Deputy Durkan, I think, has raised this on 50 or 60 occasions.

The heads of the Bill are expected shortly. It has not just been nudged but is actually moving.
