Criminal procedure legislation

Summary

Tony McLoughlin asks when the criminal procedure Bill will be debated to address trial delays; the Taoiseach says it is expected to be introduced later in the year.

With regard to the often-long delays in the criminal trial process and the need to reduce delays in the criminal justice system generally, when can we expect the criminal procedure Bill to be brought before the House for debate? Will it be during this Dáil term?
