Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

The Taoiseach indicated yesterday that some of the most vicious criminals are currently charged. However, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform indicated today on "Morning Ireland" that many of them are out on bail. They can commit crimes and intimidate witnesses. What proposals does the Tánaiste have to amend the bail laws? Will he take on board some of the Fine Gael proposals made by Deputy Jim O'Keeffe?
