Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

The heads of the national vetting bureau Bill are being prepared by the Minister of State with a view to having it with us fairly quickly. There is no date for the bail (amendment) Bill. With regard to the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill, I know the Deputy had a response to his parliamentary question and a further response regarding the enactment of the new provision 26A. A draft was laid before the House on 19 January 2010 and a resolution will be put to the House in due course.
