I refer the Deputy to my reply to PQs Noss 96 and 97 of Thursday 12 October, 2017.
As indicated in my reply, section 21 of the Criminal Assets Bureau Act 1996 requires the Bureau, through the Garda Commissioner, to provide a report of its activities each year to the Minister for Justice and Equality who is then required to lay copies of the report before each House of the Oireachtas.
Details in relation to the number of assets classified as property/land and their valuation as outlined to the court at the time when Orders were being made under section 2 of the Proceeds of Crime Acts (as amended) are set out in the Annual Reports of the Bureau, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas library and on the website of An Garda Síochána and my own Department.
