Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

I assume the Deputy is referring to the Legal Costs Bill that is a commitment in the Government Legislation Programme. The details of my proposals for the Bill continue to be developed in my Department with a view to being completed as soon as possible.
