I refer the Deputy to my reply of 22 February 2006 on this subject. The convention on the fight against corruption involving officials of the European Communities or officials of member states of the European Union entered into force on 28 September 2005, 90 days after the last of the 15 pre-enlargement member states deposited the required instrument of notification. In the case of Ireland, the terms of the convention had been approved by Dáil Éireann on 17 December 2002, and the instrument of ratification deposited on 11 March 2003.
