Question 95: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when the legislation to give effect to the victims initiative that he announced on 19 June 2008 will be brought before Dáil Éireann; if the heads of the Bill have gone to Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Work is underway in my Department on the preparation of the heads of a Bill to give effect to the legislative elements of the 'Justice for Victims Initiative' which I announced recently. While I cannot at this time give a precise date for submission of the heads of the Bill to Government, it remains my firm intention that the Bill should be published in the Spring of 2009 and I remain confident that that target will be achieved.
