Vol. 461 No. 1

Written Answers - Reform of the Bail Laws.

Dermot Ahern

Ceist:

162 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for Justice when she intends to introduce a Bill for a referendum on the bail laws; the plans, if any, he has to take on board the Fianna Fáil proposals in this regard; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2621/96]

Dermot Ahern

Ceist:

189 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for Justice when she will bring forward her proposals to reform the bail laws; and if this will entail a Constitutional Referendum on the matter. [2539/96]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 162 and 189 together. In my reply to the Private Members' debate on 27 September 1995 I set out the position in relation to bail. The examination of the Law Reform Commission report on the Law of Bail is at an advanced stage in my Department with a view to putting proposals before Government in the near future.
