The compensation for malicious injuries Bill is promised legislation. Has it been discussed in the Cabinet and is its arrival to the House imminent? Can we expect it to be passed in the current year?

I realise there were difficulties with the Central Bank Consolidation Bill due to awaiting other legislation to be passed, but is it intended to bring that Bill to the House before the end of this year and preferably before the summer recess?

The heads of the Garda Síochána Bill to which the Deputy referred were cleared, so that is being progressed. I expect the legislation to be ready later this year. I do not have a date for the Central Bank Consolidation Bill. As we discussed previously, there are some complications in that regard.
