Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage (Resumed). (28 Jun 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We are dealing here with amendments Nos. 57 to 59, inclusive which, as I started to say last night, concern introducing CCTV into Garda stations which is not confined to making video records of interviews in interview suites, as the Minister calls them. That is fine and I welcome the news the Minister has given us over the past year that all Garda stations with interview suites will soon be...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage (Resumed). (28 Jun 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am glad the Minister agrees with the concept. With the changes in technology, CCTV does not involve such large costs as it did in the past. With secure Internet connections, the equipment is relatively cheap. Most public houses have CCTV cameras installed. I know of one publican living abroad who can watch his pub from his computer, especially when he is on the beach, to see if anyone is up...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendmentNo. 60: In page 29, line 27, after "retained" to insert the following: "and (c) sanctions for any breach of these provisions". This amendment is to provide for the sanctions of any breach of the regulations by the Garda concerning video-recording interviews. If the machines are not working, no sanction is involved. However, if the machines are not operated on purpose, some...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage (Resumed). (28 Jun 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I thought I had proposed reasonable amendments. Perhaps the Minister is correct in that amendment No. 77 specifies "pistol shooting range" where it should specify "authorised shooting range". That amendment was to restrict a young person who has this firearms training certificate to giving training only in a very controlled environment, such as a rifle, pistol or authorised shooting range....

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendmentNo. 81: In page 36, between lines 41 and 42, to insert the following: "(2) The commissioner on application and payment of the prescribed fee (if any), may issue to accredited members of an international sporting body recognised by the Irish Sports Council and who are non-residents and over 14 years of age a Firearms Training Certificate, and in the case of those over 18 years...

This is a simple amendment to ensure a member of the Garda Síochána not below the rank of sergeant is involved rather than just anybody, as is stated at present.

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage (Resumed). (28 Jun 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The specific reason the inspector enters any premises is to ensure it is not being used for rifle or pistol shooting. It would be appropriate if a member of the Garda Síochána were in attendance with the inspector on such an occasion. However, if the Minister is not willing to accept the amendment, I will not press it.
