Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Parole Boards (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Given the acknowledged delays that are taking place, will the Minister of State consider providing extra resources in order to clear the backlog and address the meetings and speed things up?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: I agree it is challenging work and many of the newer recruits look forward to that. However, we see that large numbers of the resignations are coming from those who were recruited since 2015.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (6 Dec 2022)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Parole Boards (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: One of the objectives in the programme for Government was the establishment of the independent Parole Board, and I welcome the steps that were taken recently.

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: I will start with a procedural point. This Bill was announced as being approved by the Cabinet on 15 November, yet it took a full two weeks for a copy to materialise. We had pre-legislative scrutiny on detailed heads of the Bill but as we all know, the final version of a Bill can be much different. It would be better if the Government only announced Bills as being ready for approval when a...
