Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Níl fadhb leis an mBille ná leis na leasuithe seo. Tá fadhb leis an próiseas áfach agus leis an easpa dualgais dháiríre atá ann. Níl aon dualgas ar dhochtúirí a rá láithreach go bhfuil ceart ag an othar i leith athbhreithniú Pháirt 5 maidir leis an diagnóis. Ba chóir go mbeadh córas tríd an...

Pa Daly: Rosemary Campbell is 88 years old. She is in failing health. She has been seeking truth and justice since 1977 when her husband, Joe Campbell of the RUC, was shot dead in Cushendall, County Antrim. Her family and I believe that elements of the security forces conspired with UVF killer Robin Jackson to kill her husband when he uncovered evidence of collusion with paramilitaries. The...

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? As the Minister of State said, they will meet more regularly to help clear any difficulties because the ultimate focus is that the wait facing the victim could have further impacts on a person's mental...

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. It was usual for six to eight recruits to leave per year but we are now in a situation where that number of gardaí are resigning every few months. Increasingly, gardaí tell me the job does...

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

Pa Daly: That is an interesting statistic the Minister has given. On a rough sketch of the numbers an increase from 0.5 % to 0.7% means an additional 280 gardaí retiring if the overall number is 14,000. Figures available from An Garda Síochána state that approximately 400 to 450 retire yearly and the number of new recruits is simply not covering the number of gardaí retiring....

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. I note that according to Radio Kerry the chairperson is a Kerrywoman. The process will now give a statutory right for the voice of victims of crime to be heard. This was desperately needed and is welcome. We cannot underestimate the...

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

There has been a significant issue with garda recruitment and retention for some time but it is getting increasingly worse. I am concerned that if this continues, we will be left with a significant shortage of gardaí, particularly in Dublin where numbers have reduced by 18%...

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...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: I will have to leave but I will try to come back. I have a few questions for Dr. Saidléar. Regarding her comment on head 5 that other sexual experience should be defined more clearly and comprehensively to include, for example, references to miscarriage. Why has this been included? Has it come up before? I have certainly never heard of a case where this was referred to by a defence...
