Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

An issue I have raised previously with the Tánaiste and will, no doubt, raise again is the question of the proposed legislation to give effect to certain positions of the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organised Crime. The question of organised crime has not gone away, as we all know. Will the Tánaiste and future Taoiseach take an initiative to bring together the new measures proposed under the Lisbon treaty and co-ordinate them with the list of proposed legislation on the Order Paper, with a view to bringing the matters to a satisfactory conclusion? Will he ensure the issues are dealt with together rather than in the haphazard way as they appear to be laid out?
