‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Victims of crime Bill
Summary
Deputy Fitzpatrick asked when the victims of crime Bill would be published. The Tánaiste said it was going to Cabinet on Tuesday and would be published shortly afterwards.
It is time the victims of crime are given full recognition in the criminal justice system, as well as their rights to information, advice and other appropriate assistance. For the first time, the victims of crime will be given statutory rights, as well as support and protection for themselves and their families, under the victims of crime Bill. When can we expect publication of this Bill?
