Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: It may be certified without proof of the signature. Is it just dealing with the signature and with the actual evidence of what marks were there and what harm was caused?

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: The Minister probably accepts that the GP or registered medical practitioner is not required to attend court in 90% of cases. Would the Minister accept that it is unusual for doctors to need to attend court? It is just a question of covering all instances of where attendance may be required.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: I have slight concerns about these provisions. They relate not so much to the later ones, which relate to analysing drugs, for example, but to where a medical practitioner is giving evidence of what he or she saw. In such cases, will there still be an opportunity for the evidence to be tested in the courts and cross-examined? Often, it is only when evidence arises to the effect that there...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: I am just thinking of a sexual assault or rape case years ago in which there was a conviction. An office I was involved with was contacted the following day by a solicitor from another part of the country who said the witness was totally unreliable. In fact, another judge had said the witness was totally unreliable and a fantasist. As a consequence, the conviction was overturned and a...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: Would the Minister consider altering the wording to a member "must" direct the person to desist or leave immediately? The current wording gives such people a warning similar to that required by the High Court under section 8 of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994 which states "the member may direct the person so suspected to do" to desist or leave immediately. I propose that...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (26 Oct 2022)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister of State for her reply. The only problem is that some of these families have been waiting 15 years since the misdiagnoses and the overprescribing of antipsychotic medication to their children. They are suffering internally in their family units and their children are still suffering as a result of what happened. The random sample, I believe, will lead only to a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (26 Oct 2022)

Pa Daly: The sample audit for north Kerry child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, is due either this week or next week. In my view, the HSE must expand the sample audit to a full review of all files in north Kerry, going back 15 years, as a matter of urgency. As the Minister of State knows, the Maskey report found that significant harm was caused to 46 children in south Kerry and that a...

Pa Daly: Tá fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá an ceart aici go bhfuil fás an-mhór tagtha ar líon na ndíolúintí. De réir an chiorcláin a foilsíodh in 2019, tá sé deacair díolúine a fháil. Tá ar pháistí fadhbanna le litearthacht agus mar sin agus riachtanais iomadúil agus seasmhach a bheith acu. Bhí...
