What is the status of the Garda Síochána (compensation for malicious injuries) Bill, which has been on the list for a considerable period? Is it intended that the Bill will be the subject of pre-legislative scrutiny? Is the Bill likely to come before the House before the end of this session or in the next session and when is it likely to be passed into law?

Legal advice on the Bill in question is being considered. I do not have an exact timeframe for the legislation as it will depend on the analysis of the legal advice. It will not be taken in this term, however.
