Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (28 Jun 2023)

Pa Daly: We will also be opposing this amendment. There is definitely something going on here and I would be interested in hearing the case from the Government for this amendment. A lot of concern has been expressed about it. It is already the view of many that the DPC uses its powers to direct non-disclosure far too liberally and this is only going to increase that practice. I have some sympathy...

Environmental Protection Agency Water Quality Report 2022: Statements (28 Jun 2023)

One statistic in the report that jumped out at us was concerning, namely, that...

Pa Daly: Since April, any enduring power of attorney must be registered with the Decision Support Service.

Opt-in under Protocol No. 21: Motions (21 Jun 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Defamation (Amendment) Bill: Department of Justice (20 Jun 2023)

Pa Daly: I was also going to mention the Statute of Limitations. One year is too short. There has been some discussion of people who were accused in the wrong in shops. Most of the shops with which I had dealings when I was a solicitor provided poor or no training for their employees, and that was the reason things were said that should not have been said. That can be overcome with training. Given...
