Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

This is a matter of the greatest concern. There is no fixed date for the introduction of the bail Bill. Obviously, the Minister for Justice and Equality is acutely aware of the impact of organised crime on the country. That is partly why the Government approved the appointment of 33 senior Garda officers yesterday. I hope that will lead, in some way, towards getting information that will deal with the situation so that people can be brought before the courts and put behind bars if the courts so decide.
