Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (13 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Some of the questions I was going to ask have been covered. With regard to the international experience, is there prior judicial approval? If so, do any of the witnesses know exactly what the detail of this is? Does it go to a local district judge or a judge at a lower level? How does it work in the US? A few people have mentioned...

Healthcare Provision in Rural Communities: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank the Rural Independent Group for bringing forward this worthy motion. This may well be the seventh anniversary of the Committee on the Future of Healthcare's Sláintecare Report. Despite the commitment to ending the two-tier system contained within the health service, little progress has been made. This is especially the case in the context of GP care. The Sláintecare...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Immigration Support Services (22 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply. Are there plans to expand it so that other queries can be taken by Oireachtas Members? I noticed that some replies received from the system suggested that no representations would be considered were being sent to some TDs. Are there plans to expand this? For example, 100,000 migrant visas were issued in 2022. A large number are going through the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Immigration Support Services (22 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: With regard to the investment being made in the process, I understand that many more staff have been employed. Are there statistics? I know that the international protection accommodation services, IPAS, are quite good at publishing the statistics on those staying with it. Will there be regular reports from the IPO to the justice committee? More co-ordination is needed to ensure those who...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (22 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: The Minister will probably be aware that the justice committee visited the Garda Training College in November. We were impressed by the level of professionalism in Templemore. The college was anxious to stress that it was never actually closed during Covid, only that a hybrid model was introduced. We have called for that to continue. Templemore has the capacity for 1,000 recruits per...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (22 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: The Minister mentioned that there was one class less coming through Templemore this year. Is that because of the attestations? A group was attested just before Christmas and was then more or less sent home again. Bringing forward those recruits’ attestations looked like a bit of a stunt. We cannot have a box-ticking approach to increasing the number, as visibility is vital. How...

Recent Arson Attacks: Statements (27 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: The Minister, Deputy McEntee, mentioned the spread of hatred and there is a problem in the community with people looking at material online, not only on the social media platforms but also on WhatsApp and forwarded messages. It is depressing to read messages that have been sent to me containing not only disinformation but also misinformation, hearsay and opinions that are taken as fact....

Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: Work should have been done on this a long time ago. While regulatory powers are important, material resources are also key. The system that developed in Kerry, not just in south Kerry CAMHS, was a product of pressure, carelessness and a lack of oversight, where medication was the only solution provided, and the psychological therapies and behavioural, developmental and other issues were not...
