Gangland Crime
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-22
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I thank the Minister for her comprehensive reply. May I further inquire as to whether, in the proposed legislation, it is intended to further amend the bail laws? In the past, those laws were seen as being capable of being circumvented by criminal gangs. In addition, recidivism was an issue.
Is it intended in the course of the proposed legislation to look again at this particular area of the law?
