Consultations with the Office of the Attorney General on Council Framework Decision 2005/212/JHA regarding confiscation of crime-related proceeds, instrumentalities and property are continuing. Initial indications are that there will be a requirement for some primary legislation in order that Ireland might ratify the instrument. However, while I am not yet able to state definitively the steps required to give effect to the framework decision, any legislative proposals will be brought to Government in the normal way.
