The bail laws in this country are based on court decisions and legislation from the 1960s and are clearly incapable of dealing with the threat of modern crime. The bail Bill has been promised for some considerable time. I ask the Taoiseach if it might be possible, clearly not in this session, but as a matter of urgency in the next session to bring it forward to facilitate dealing with serious modern crime as it presents today.
