On a matter that another Member and I have raised on many occasions-----

If somebody else has raised it, there is no point in Deputy Durkan raising it a second time because he will get the same answer.

The important part there is I have a unique way for raising this question.

That is a given.

I know Deputy Durkan has, very unique.

It relates to organised crime, which I have raised on many occasions when I was sitting over there, as the Ceann Comhairle will recall because he supported me in that.

Deputy Durkan should have a chat with Deputy Butler who has already raised the matter.

I want to ask if it might be possible to introduce the legislation that is most likely to impact in a really negative way on organised criminal activity because the carnage continues.

What Bill?

The carnage continues, as it did when I was sitting over there.

What Bill is Deputy Durkan talking about?

There is a variety of Bills and I will not-----

It is only for the Taoiseach's sake.

Wait for a second, I do not propose to read them all out but there are many of them. They have been sitting on the Order Paper for at least five to ten years.

This is the Order of Business. Deputy Durkan is supposed to be asking about promised legislation. Would he tell us about the Bill?

This is a matter for the Order of Business.

Be fair.

Promised legislation.

This is a matter for the Order of Business.

It is because of the negligence of the previous Administration-----

The Deputy is only wasting time.

Will Deputy Bernard Durkan please resume his seat, co-operate with the Chair and adhere to the rules applying to the Order of Business, which require Deputies to ask when promised legislation is likely to be brought before the House?

Just like I did. Did Deputy Bernard Durkan see what I did?

Will Deputy Bernard Durkan please tell the Taoiseach what Bill he is talking about?

I will not repeat what I said.

I hope the Deputy will not.

He has forgotten it already.

The criminal records information system Bill has been promised for some time, with other similar legislation, the introduction of which is hugely important. Is it intended to expedite the processing of this legislation through the House in order that we can make a real impact on the criminality taking place?

I can confirm that the heads of the criminal records information system Bill were cleared in April, but it will be next year before the Bill is actually published.
