Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

Eighteen months ago, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform produced what was to be a major crime-busting Bill, namely, the Criminal Justice Bill. He has provided Members with a raft of further proposals which is much larger than the original Bill, but has not published any amendments. He has spoken of anti-social behaviour and other matters. When will Members receive the amendments, which are much longer than the original Bill?
