Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

That legislation will be introduced this session.

If I can revert to Deputy Michael D. Higgins's question, the criminal justice (mutual assistance) Bill will enact certain of the measures and the remaining requirements will be dealt with by the prevention of corruption Bill which is at an advanced stage of preparation. A small number of drafting issues remain for the Parliamentary Counsel to deal with. That is one of the issues and I will check the other matter he raised.
