Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I would like to ask about important legislation that is promised to strengthen the powers of the Criminal Assets Bureau with regard to the forfeiture of the proceeds of crime. Everyone will agree that such a Bill would be timely. Similarly, I would like to ask about the Bill that will consolidate all the legislation currently cited as the Prevention of Corruption Acts 1889-2005 in a single Statute. I refer to items Nos. 85 and 86 on the Government legislative programme. Is it intended to expedite their process through the Oireachtas?
