Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (28 Jun 2023)

Pa Daly: Since April, any enduring power of attorney must be registered with the Decision Support Service. While people need an email, Government ID, a PPS number and statements from the donor, the doctor, the solicitor, the barrister and the attorney, and rightly so because safeguards have to be in place, some problems have begun to arise. Under section 60, the attorney, the two witnesses and the...

Pa Daly: With regard to the water quality report, the people of Kerry, with its connection to the sea and rivers, rely on water for work, food, health and wellbeing. That is why we have been keeping an eye on the EPA reports over recent years. Water quality can, of course, be impacted by a number of different factors. One statistic in the report that jumped out at us was concerning, namely, that...

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...

Pa Daly: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. Some of the questions I would have asked have already been answered. Do the witnesses have a view on a Personal Injuries Assessment Board-type system being introduced? Is it true that trials in the English system have become more predictable and less costly since 2013? I do not have a firm view on this matter. I am not bothered by...

Pa Daly: I thank the witnesses for attending. On consent, it seems to be agreed across the board that it has to be voluntary and free of coercion and there has to be capacity to make decisions. There seems to be a general wariness in relation to advance care directives. The legislation that has been effective since April this year has notification requirements, in that there are people who a person...
