In Galway city and county, 60% of burglaries are carried out mostly by repeat offenders, particularly people who are heroin abusers. I am sure that is the same in our major cities. It is very frustrating for the gardaí who apprehend these people to see them back on the streets again in hours.

Sorry, Deputy, what legislation?

Some of them only spend a few months in jail and they are back out on the streets again. When does the Taoiseach expect the bail Bill to come before the Dáil because many people out on bail are reoffending?

The bail Bill is due before the Dáil while the Criminal Justice (Burglary of Dwellings) Bill 2015 is due next week. Deputy Grealish will be aware of yesterday’s announcement by the Garda Commissioner and the Minister in respect of specific moneys to be allocated by the Government to deal with spate of burglaries carried out by a small number of well-known criminals. These are matters to which the Members of the House will be able to contribute. This is an issue of concern to the Government and one to which it has responded with requests from the Garda Commissioner to provide facilities and opportunities to deal with this. It will involve our communities in having information passed to the Garda at the earliest possible time.
