Bethany Home: Motion [Private Members] (10 Dec 2013)

The victims of the...

Other Questions: State Pathologists (10 Dec 2013)

Niall Collins: I wish to tease out a point. Did I hear the Minister correctly, in that Dr. Jaber has made himself available to give evidence if so required? I am unsure as to whether he is still in the jurisdiction. Should he be unavailable by virtue of nothing being in the jurisdiction, is it the case that Professor Cassidy can take the files on which he worked and present it as evidence in criminal trials?

Other Questions: Garda Investigations (10 Dec 2013)

Niall Collins: On the same point as that raised by Deputy Naughten, if it is the case that either the family or the senior counsel who is to undertake the role feel they are being inhibited in their work by not having access to the entire range of files, where do we stand then?

Other Questions: Garda Investigations (10 Dec 2013)

Niall Collins: The Minister is well aware of this case. It is a long-running cause of concern to the extended family of the late Fr. Niall Molloy who was killed in 1985. Will there be a commission of investigation? I understand that the Minister has briefed a senior counsel to examine the case. I am trying to elicit some more information about that from the Minister.

Other Questions: Garda Investigations (10 Dec 2013)

Niall Collins: I thank the Minister. What will be the timeline given within the terms of reference for the senior counsel?

Will the Minister tell us that he is not ruling out a commission of investigation into the...

Senator Byrne said a mass deception was going ahead. Can the Minister confirm whether a formal...
