I propose to take Questions Nos. 524, 530 and 598 together.

I can inform the Deputies that on 19 June 2012 I published a report on the criminal justice aspects of the cash for gold trade which was prepared by my Department.

I have formally requested the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Equality and Defence to consider the content of the report, that it considers holding hearings on the issues raised in the report, that it obtains the views of all relevant interested parties and that it makes such report and recommendations to the Houses of the Oireachtas and to Government as it deems proportionate and appropriate in the public interest.
