Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

Ireland is the leader in this. We had proceeds of crime legislation before anyone else. I am not quite sure what it is like elsewhere but I know CAB is still the envy of many other countries as to how it operates. One of the reasons is because it is not a criminal but a civil process. One has to take a great deal of care and ensure there is sufficient room for people to challenge it. That is what keeps it strong and upheld. We are looking to see if it can be reduced in any sense because there is a cost for CAB.
