Summary
Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked when the promised Garda Síochána malicious injuries compensation Bill would come before the House. The Taoiseach said the Department was working on it but it was not expected this session.
The Garda Síochána (malicious injuries) (compensation) Bill is promised legislation. Given that approximately 5,000 gardaí have been injured in the course of their duty, when is it likely to come before the House? Some degree of urgency might be accorded to it.
