Ceisteanna - Questions: Ukraine War (15 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: The efforts of the Civil Service, civil society and ordinary communities in welcoming Ukrainian people to Ireland have been nothing short of extraordinary but surely the recent allocation of responsibility for integration to the Minister of State, Deputy Joe O’Brien, is an acknowledgement that the Government's response needs a more focused approach. That Minister of State already has...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (15 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: If ever there was a scheme that epitomised the lack of planning, co-ordination and consistency by the Government to a level that was almost calculated to cause division, it is the pandemic bonus payment. The 11 officers in the stores and material management department of University Hospital Kerry changed their shifts and organised PPE in the hospital and in the community, as well as doing...

Pa Daly: Arising from what the Minister has said and the Second Stage of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022 last week, I know we are awaiting the facial recognition technology aspect. When does the Minister think that legislation will be ready? I know the Commissioner committed to a pilot programme. In advance of that, will the Minister commit to some sort of independent...

Pa Daly: Following on from the comments about judges, the Joint Committee on Justice received a visit from Vice-President Vra Jourová of the European Commission last October. According to a Commission report, the number of judges per inhabitant in Ireland remained the lowest in the EU at 3.3 judges per 100,000 inhabitants compared with 17 per 100,000 across the EU. The report stated that,...

Pa Daly: If someone today wanted a trial date in the Circuit Criminal Court in Dublin, he or she would get one in 2025. The waiting period in Dundalk is also bad. In Kerry, someone would be waiting for longer than two years to get a trial date. Of course, that might differ in circumstances where a child is involved, for example. Someone would be waiting 15 to 18 months in the Central Criminal...

Pa Daly: I wish to ask a supplementary question. It would be wrong of me to let this opportunity go without mentioning the decision taken recently by Kerry County Council to give a portion of ground to the Courts Service for the construction of a new courthouse. Notwithstanding that the decision was taken by a full vote of Kerry County Council, it would be a mistake to move the existing court...

Pa Daly: Of course, but I disagree on the point that was raised that one cannot put four courtrooms in the existing building. There is so much empty space within the current structure that it would be easy to put two if not three additional courtrooms in the building. For a lot of reasons, including the carbon footprint of constructing a new building, it would be within the overall common good of...

Pa Daly: I have a question arising out of what the Minister said. He reported the 13,600 applications to the International Protection Office and there is additional funding, which includes €9 million for the appeals tribunal. Obviously, there are other programmes and I welcome the announcement today about the golden visa programme being shut down. On a breakdown of the figures on where people...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ministerial Responsibilities (9 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: I am somewhat worried given the Minister of State is now working in three separate Departments, yet this is such an important area. We are seeing the rise of the far right and we do not want what happened in the Netherlands and Sweden to happen here. Should some Minister or Minister of State have sole responsibility for this such that it would be his or her one job to deal with integration?...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ministerial Responsibilities (9 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: I wish the Minister of State well in his new role. What are the responsibilities of the newly appointed Minister of State with special responsibility for integration? Is it an acknowledgement that this Ministry has become, or always was, too big and broad? From what we have seen in recent weeks, were Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Deputies reluctant to step into this role or were they...
