Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I am not sure whether the Taoiseach has indicated to the House the date upon which he expects the Dáil to rise for the summer recess. Included in the list of legislation is an important Bill in the context of the current banking crisis and the damage to our reputation internationally. I refer to the criminal justice (money laundering) Bill, which will enshrine in law the third EU directive on money laundering, which has been promised for some time. I am not sure whether the timeframe will allow us to proceed with that between now and the summer, but perhaps it could be done by way of all-party agreement. It is important that it be done.
