Criminal Assets Bureau powers

Summary

Ray Butler asks when legislation will strengthen Criminal Assets Bureau powers to forfeit criminal proceeds, including those linked to diesel laundering. The Taoiseach says consultations with CAB are under way but gives no publication date.

When is proposed legislation promised on the criminal justice Bill in respect of proceeds of crime to strengthen the powers of the Criminal Assets Bureau, CAB, in respect of forfeiting the proceeds of crime? Many rules and regulations have been introduced on diesel laundering but I believe CAB really needs more powers in this area.

I can confirm for Deputy Butler that consultations are under way with CAB on this issue. I do not have a date of publication, as I wish to conclude the aforementioned discussions that are taking place with the bureau. I can report progress later to the Deputy.
