Deputy Durkan asks when the Garda Síochána (Compensation) Bill 2017 will come before the House. The Minister says the matter is under consideration alongside wider Garda reform and he will keep the House informed.
Given that more than 1,000 gardaí are injured in the course of their duties annually, when will the Garda Síochána (Compensation) Bill 2017 come before the House?
Comment on this
That issue is under consideration. There are several pressing Garda issues and the ongoing programme of reform. I do not have a date on which that legislation will be published but I will keep the Deputy and the House fully informed in the context of overall Garda issues.
