Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

When Deputy O'Donoghue was Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform he put a number of important items of legislation into the Government programme, the corruption Bill that was to be produced, the one nationwide indictable crimes court Bill, the new legislation to enable the DPP to appeal against sentences in the District Court and a number of other Bills. What has happened to these Bills, as five years on from when they were listed in the Government legislative programme they do not appear to be receiving any priority? Has the change of Minister resulted in these Bills falling away?
