I wish everybody, including your good self, a Ceann Comhairle, happy and seasonal greetings and good wishes for the coming year. I began the year with questions about the Bail Bill, that old stalwart.

It is as important as ever. I know the Tánaiste has good news for me in that regard. The timeline for it is already agreed and we will see it early in the new year. I would like confirmation on that.

The Bail Bill was published on 8 December. It is up to the Business Committee to decide when it can come through the House. I am sure it will be a priority.
