Vol. 467 No. 2
60 Miss Harney asked the Minister for Justice the proposals, if any, she has in relation to reform of the law of bail; if so, the status and nature of such proposals; when she will announce, in detail, the promised reforms; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12856/96]
140 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Justice if her attention has been drawn to the widespread concern regarding offenders who are involved in further crime while on bail; if she will give details of her consideration of and progress on this matter over the last 18 months; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12977/96]
I propose to take Question Nos. 60 and 140 together. I am, of course, aware of widespread concern at the problem of offending while on bail.
I have concluded my examination of the Law Reform Commission report on the law of bail and I am at present consulting my colleagues in Government on detailed proposals arising from that examination.
