Given the urgent necessity to accelerate the criminal investigation of activities in the banking system over the past few years is it intended to accelerate the progress through the House of the amendment to the Criminal Assets Bureau Bill, with a view to ensuring that adequate strength is applied to ensure the forensic examination of the issues which have been the subject matter of discussion in the past few days?

This is the Proceeds of Crime Bill. Deputy Durkan has raised this on several occasions. These discussions with CAB are ongoing and I cannot tell him when they will conclude but hopefully it will be fairly soon. That is an essential part of completing the Bill.
