I raise with the Taoiseach legislation the House passed on Second Stage last December, in its final act of the previous session, namely, the Proceeds of Crime (Gross Human Rights Abuses) Bill 2020. I introduced the Bill which is what is known as a Magnitsky Act. It is designed to be able to react against people who are gross abusers of human rights internationally. In the context of what is happening in Ukraine, many countries are strengthening their Magnitsky legislation. Will the Taoiseach give support to the early enactment of the Proceeds of Crime (Gross Human Rights Abuses) Bill and allow it to go quickly through these Houses?

The Bill is very progressive legislation. I would have to examine the detail obviously but I am generally supportive of the spirit of the legislation and what the Deputy is endeavouring to achieve.

Will the Taoiseach come back to me on that?

Yes.
