- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: I move amendment No. 23: In page 10, to delete line 31. I want to ask the Minister of State his view on the groupings because these are amendments that seek to delete specific provisions relating to whether there is a discretion involved.
- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: Amendment No. 23 deals with the amendment to section 16(i) of the 2003 Act. The reason I raise this issue is that I think it is at variance with what the Minister of State said regarding other aspects. I do not dispute his bona fides in this regard but section 16(1) states: Where a person does not consent to his or her surrender to the issuing state or has withdrawn his or her consent...

- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: I think it was agreed to discuss amendments Nos. 45 to 47, inclusive. Amendment No. 47 has already been discussed with amendments Nos. 23 and 28. The issue involved is, again, related to judicial discretion and I have already discussed that. I am happy to move the amendment but I do not think it needs to be gone into any further.

- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: On this section, I will make only a small point. On a number occasions in the course of this Committee Stage, sections have been replaced. Again, I understand why that happens. It denies Senators the opportunity to amend the section that is being inserted by way of an amendment because we do not see it until the amendments are published. As a broad statement of policy, I think it is...

- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: The European arrest warrant framework is hugely important. It should not at any point be underestimated how complex it is and how much jurisprudence there is on it. Consolidating this Bill with the existing 2003 legislation is important. I ask the Minister of State and the Department to give consideration to passing a consolidated Act where everything is in the one place. I put on record...
- Seanad: Second Anniversary of Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Statements (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: I also extend welcome to the ambassadors of Lithuania and Ukraine. Throughout the entirety of her tenure here, H.E. Larysa Gerasko has been dealing with this situation. It is awful and difficult to understand. In that regard, I will start with the Minister of State’s concluding remarks. The illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia reverberates across the world. There is no country in...
- Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Motion (21 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: I acknowledge the importance of this motion and how comprehensive it is. It is not a short document. It amounts to five pages on the Order Paper. It contains much by way of suggestions on what we can actually do. It is constructive and positive. If the Government were in any doubt about what avenues were open to it, this motion would offer suggestions. I am not necessarily saying every...
