Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I refer to the criminal justice (confiscation orders) Bill, No. 66 on the list. I also refer to No. 69, the criminal justice (European evidence warrant) Bill. The criminal justice (money laundering) Bill has also been promised. All of these Bills were promised for the middle or the end of the current year. As a former Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, I am sure the Ceann Comhairle would agree with me that a timeframe now exists within which the Government can act. Will the Government please introduce one of these items of legislation in order that discussion can take place within the House to address the issue that all of the people outside this House are now discussing?
