Criminal Prosecutions.
2:30 pm
Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)
There is no reference to a timelag in any of the newspaper cuttings from the period prior to the summer recess. All I can see are headlines inspired by the Minister to the effect that 300 crime bosses were to be rounded up and that crime bosses would flee to the "costa del crime". There are several references to the fact that as soon as the President had signed the legislation into law, these people would have been rounded up. I have only one brief question to put to the Minister. Will he indicate to the House the number of referrals there have been to the Special Criminal Court since the legislation was enacted?
