The Tribunals of Inquiry Bill is awaiting Report Stage in the Dáil. Before progressing to this Stage, detailed consideration has to be given to a number of issues relating to developments in the law relevant to tribunals.

I am not currently in a position to provide a clear timeframe to the Deputy for progressing the Bill: much depends on other competing legislative priorities, of which the Deputy is aware.
