Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

——I would like to give the Ministers who remain an opportunity to make a landmark decision in respect of organised crime, an issue I have raised previously. The Taoiseach and the Tánaiste indicated that legislation on this matter would be brought forward. Unfortunately, organised crime is accelerating rather than declining. Given the seriousness of the issue, will the Minister indicate whether the criminal justice confiscation orders Bill and the extradition Bill are likely to be introduced as a matter of urgency to focus the attention of the House on an issue being talked about by everybody outside?
