Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

I apologise for being late; I was not notified about this debate as I am not the party spokesperson. There seems to have been some confusion.

On the legislation which covers areas such as money laundering, account keeping and rules and regulations which the various professions have to abide by regarding clients' money and so on, does the Minister plan to consolidate it in some way in order that there are not different dates and such things?

When the Bill is passed, what time period will the Minister give the professional bodies in terms of informing their members about the new legislation and the provision of guidelines?
