Criminal Assets Bureau legislation

Summary

Ray Butler asks when legislation strengthening the Criminal Assets Bureau will be published; the Taoiseach says it remains on the B list pending discussions with the CAB.

When is publication of the criminal justice Bill, to strengthen the powers of the Criminal Assets Bureau, CAB, in respect of forfeiting the proceeds of crime, expected? I welcome the news headline in the Irish Independent today that "CAB targets fuel-laundering suspects with 25 court actions". I am sure Deputy Adams and his party also welcome it.

The legislation is not on the A list. It is on the B list. As was the case before Christmas, discussions are still ongoing with the CAB. If those discussions are concluded successfully, obviously the Bill can move forward.
