The Garda Síochána compensation (malicious injuries) Bill is very important promised legislation, given the ongoing comments about the Garda, the difficult job gardaí do and the risks they take. When is it expected that the Bill might appear before the House? Has the full analysis of all the legal niceties been examined?

Comment on this

I am glad to be able to tell the Deputy that the heads of that Bill were cleared at Cabinet on 9 May. I assume it will now go for pre-legislative scrutiny.
