943 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 593 of 14 June 2005, the outcome of consultations referred to in that reply; the steps he contemplates to give effect to Council Framework Decision 2005/212/JHA; if those steps will include primary legislation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24744/05]
View answerConsultations 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.
