Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2005: Committee Stage. (14 Dec 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have some sympathy for the Minister's arguments in this area. Sinn Féin, however, feels the amendment was of an urgent nature. Members had as much time to examine the amendment as I have often had for the Minister's amendments on other legislation. The Minister cannot be at a disadvantage because, in the preparation of the heads of the coroners service Bill, some work must have been done...

Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2005: Committee Stage. (14 Dec 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: No, I am saying if it is flawed, it is because it is an attempt to easily address an issue where only one of the three circumstances described is legislated for at present. The Minister is correct that virtually in every case an inquest is held but there are cases where they are not. The other circumstance addressed in the amendment concerns deaths not only in Garda custody but also within...

Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2005: Committee Stage. (14 Dec 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Will the Minister indicate when the heads of the Bill will be ready? That would help us to prepare so that when the Bill appears we can ensure its passage through the House as quickly as our deliberations will allow. All sides of the House want to ensure that the coroners' service will be fully resourced and will consequently be the best in the world. I am not trying to delay the passage of...

Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2005: Committee Stage. (14 Dec 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will not question the draftspeople on this. Suffice it to say that the Bill was published on 1 December. Today is 14 December, and it is sad that the Minister has not received advice enabling him to explain why this section is being deleted. I believe that is was a good one, and I ask only that the Minister return to us when he is preparing the Bill promised for next year to ensure that...

State Airports. (14 Dec 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: What little knowledge I have regarding investigations by the Garda Síochána suggests gardaí operate on the basis of suspicion when they look for a warrant. They seek a warrant to gain evidence, which they then pass on to the DPP, who decides whether to prosecute. The gardaí should investigate these flights by boarding them and ensuring that available evidence is obtained and passed on to...
