Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017 (27 Mar 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Professor Mee made the point that joint tenancy is a specific and particular form of property ownership, which I understand. In respect of all other properties it is difficult to establish how they might be split or what claim the estate of the deceased or the murderer might have on them? In the case of the main property held in joint tenancy, potentially the deceased would have come to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017 (27 Mar 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I want to understand better the point that was made by Professor Mee and Deputy O'Callaghan. They were discussing the fact that aiding and abetting is not included. The LRC and Deputy O'Callaghan seemed to understand that somebody taking part in a conspiracy to murder could be charged with murder but Professor Mee seemed to have a contrary view. What is the distinction between aiding and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance and Child Safeguarding Issues in Scouting Ireland: Tusla and Scouting Ireland (13 Mar 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: It is important that I declare an interest, as I did previously, as a registered, if not particularly active member, of Scouting Ireland. I have not been in a position to follow the entire debate as I was at a meeting of the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality until about half an hour ago. I will not go over any of the questions again. I wish to say that any child protection concerns...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Many questions have been asked, but there are still significant areas to explore. The last two sessions have been very interesting. These have been very valuable hearings which I hope will lead to a constructive report. I will start by asking Men's Voices Ireland to clarify something. There is a statement from the Nemo Forum which was mentioned at the start. Are the delegates in a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I understand the point. I am not approaching it from a legal point of view but very much from a layman's point of view. It seems that it is difficult for a child not to have a primary residence. I am sure there are circumstances in which it can work and it should always be considered. However, it seems potentially to be a difficult existence for a child to spend half the time in one place...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I see the value of alternative dispute resolution approaches and mediation and believe they could play an enhanced role. Last week we had a discussion about whether they were appropriate in instances where there was domestic violence of any form. Is Mr. Drakeford of the view that they are not appropriate in such circumstances? I know that he has a very strong view that generally they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Before I move on to the next question, I would say our understanding of domestic violence is that it is complex but the legislation and the response are becoming more sophisticated. On a criminal basis, domestic violence requires proof beyond reasonable doubt. Where it is not proved but people are subject to domestic violence, forcing them into mediation would be seriously re-traumatising...
