Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (13 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank Deputy Ward. I have one question for the Commissioner arising out of what was mentioned with regard to the events of 22 November, retention of data and the whole issue. There was a report by Gript, which said on 29 November that it was misled by a source on the identity of the attacker. It had accessed details of asylum history belonging to a particular person and he was identified...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (13 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Some of the questions I was going to ask have been covered. With regard to the international experience, is there prior judicial approval? If so, do any of the witnesses know exactly what the detail of this is? Does it go to a local district judge or a judge at a lower level? How does it work in the US? A few people have mentioned...

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: From the Seanad (31 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: The main difference is that the Minister is changing the definition of superior officer so someone of the rank of inspector would be able to make these applications.

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: From the Seanad (31 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: That guidance will be given by other members of An Garda Síochána. Is that correct?

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: From the Seanad (31 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: Similar to amendment No. 28, I hope in the future there is leadership shown by the Department and Minister to say it would be referred to as "Fiosrú" at all times, as opposed to the longer "office of the police ombudsman". Seanad amendment agreed to.

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: From the Seanad (31 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: It is important that the relevant Minister or Department media team would use Fiosrú all the time, rather than using the longer term or even the Office of the Police Ombudsman. Fiosrú is much easier and rolls off the tongue a little better.

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: From the Seanad (31 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: Ba chóir dom beagáinín a rá mar gheall ar sin. I welcome the proposal and the amendment agus táim buíoch go raibh an Rialtas ag éisteacht leis an díospóireacht a bhí sa Teach ach tá beagáin imní orm mar gheall ar an rud a tharla leis an gCoimisiún Toghcháin. Since that name was brought in, it seems to refer to itself...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (31 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: The condition of courthouses in Kerry was recently criticised by the local judge. It has long been my view that the existing building in Tralee should be refurbished in accordance with the town centre first plan of this Government, the lack of a plan to do anything with the existing building and the need for extra help for Tralee town centre which, like a lot of places, suffers with a lot of...

Pa Daly: What about Tralee?

Misuse of Drugs (Cannabis Regulation) Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (31 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank People Before Profit for introducing this Bill. Clearly, a new way is needed for the State’s drug policy. A report of the justice committee last year recommended a policy of decriminalisation be pursued in line with emerging international best practice in respect of the possession of drugs for personal consumption through appropriate legislative reform in favour of a...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Hospital Waiting Lists (31 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: 164. To ask the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) can expect to receive an appointment for a surgical procedure to remove cataracts (bilateral), as their sight is impaired and this is affecting their day-to-day quality of life; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Gaza and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: With the greatest respect to the Minister of State, it is very disappointing that there is nobody here from the Department of Foreign Affairs. Before he left, the Minister for agriculture dropped a statement which said that as the Tánaiste made clear, interventions by states are not about joining one side or another but about aiming to assert a legal interpretation of the issue at hand....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (24 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister of State for the reply. I accept it was acknowledged that 240 people did not receive an adequate standard of care. The problem is that anyone who does not meet these criteria, as the Minister of State said in the reply, is free to pursue a case separately with the HSE. An example of what we are dealing with in north Kerry in particular is the case of one young...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (24 Jan 2024)

Pa Daly: The Minister of State is familiar with the CAMHS disaster that occurred between 2016 and 2021. That is the identified period for which there was overprescription of medication and inappropriate care. Children experienced massive weight gain. Risperidone was nearly universally applied and prescribed for children. Lives were ruined. Following the identification of some of the issues...
