‹ Order of Business Criminal justice legal aid Bill
Summary
Deputy Durkan asked whether the criminal justice (legal aid) Bill could be expedited for pre-legislative scrutiny. The Taoiseach said work had been ongoing and he would have confirmation sent to the Deputy.
The criminal justice (legal aid) Bill has been promised for some time but it has not yet been referred for pre-legislative scrutiny. Is that process likely to be expedited given the importance of the Bill and its implications for cutting costs in the context of public expenditure?
