Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages.
10:30 am
Ivana Bacik (Independent)
I move amendment No. 22:
In page 42, lines 34 and 35, to delete "and the Revenue Commissioners".
On Committee Stage the Minister had sympathy for the point that the section involved a bureaucratic overload in that two separate reports were required. The amendment would remove the obligation to report also to the Revenue Commissioners. I will not press the amendment, but it should be enough to report to the Garda Síochána, given that there should be very strong liaison between these bodies. We all want the legislation to be as effective as possible, but there should be sufficient liaison between the Garda and Revenue such that one reporting obligation would suffice.
