I take Mr. Palmer's point.

The Government does not have an economic crime strategy, despite the Hamilton report recommending one over two and a half years ago. The Department of Justice would be the lead policy Department in relation to this. I am sure there is a lot of passing the buck in the room next door, from RTÉ, but the public wants this. We should take off the handcuffs and take this head on, instead of with two hands behind our backs. What role does the Department of Finance have, if any, in the development of this economic crime strategy? Will Mr. Palmer explain why it has been so delayed?
