Proceeds of crime and gambling Bills

Summary

Deputy Butler asks when legislation strengthening proceeds-of-crime powers and regulating online gambling will be published. The Tánaiste expects the former no earlier than next year and the gambling Bill next year.

When is publication expected of the criminal justice (proceeds of crime) Bill which proposes to strengthen the powers of the CAB and allow for the forfeit of the proceeds of crime?

I refer to the article in today's edition of the Irish Independent about online gambling. When is publication expected of the gambling control Bill to update and consolidate the law on betting and gambling? Online betting with the use of technology and mobile phones is a serious problem.

Comment on this

Consultations are ongoing on the criminal justice (proceeds of crime) Bill and I anticipate publication next year at the earliest. The gambling control Bill will be published next year.
