The Government is committed to ensuring that adequate resources are provided to support the work of the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) in targeting the proceeds of crime.
As the Deputy may be aware, CAB's financial allocation for 2022 was just under €11 million. This represents an increase of around €0.7m on its 2021 allocation.
If a further increase of 15% was applied in 2023 this would increase the CAB budget by approximately €1.6 million to €12.5m.
