Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Everyone agrees that a great deal of crime is committed by persons while on bail. This has been an issue for some considerable time. Legislation is promised and publication is expected but at this stage it is not possible to indicate when. In view of the fact that it is urgently required legislation, which everyone agrees is necessary, could the Tánaiste indicate to the House whether it has been discussed to date in Cabinet and if any action has been taken to try to bring it through this House at an early date?
