Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

It is a year since legislation was introduced to establish a legal services ombudsman. The Bill was referred by the House last year to a committee. There are indications by the Government that the Bill is parked indefinitely so there is a degree of uncertainty about the matter. Will the Minister confirm that the legislation will be dealt with at the earliest opportunity, having regard to the urgency of the matter?
