Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

As Deputy Higgins will be aware, it can be highly complicated when ethical objectives must be realised within an EU framework. However, in respect of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, I can assist the Deputy further. The criminal justice (United Nations Convention Against Corruption) Bill, which allows for the ratification of that convention, now has been amalgamated with the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, which I understand is before the House.
