Apropos of the issue raised earlier by Deputy Micheál Martin, the criminal justice (money laundering and terrorist financing) (amendment) Bill is on the list and it is still to be reviewed in pre-legislative scrutiny. In view of the recent horrendous events in Manchester, would it be possible to advance the cause of that Bill with some urgency, given the nature of its content?

Yes, it is on the priority list but I will have to advise the Deputy on the progress that is being made internally in the Department.
