Seanad: Parole Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Jul 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I do not want to give the impression that I think we should be closing down the Irish Penal Reform Trust; I am not at all, it is a wonderful organisation. I was just very angry with it for some of the things that it has suggested about victim impact statements and the controlling of such statements, particularly when I am trying to stand up for victims of great grievous, heinous crimes....

Seanad: Parole Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Jul 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Yes, and in that case they would not all have this mandatory life sentence. The whole area of consecutive and concurrent sentencing also needs to be looked at. It is enormous. If two people are burned or killed, which life sentence is the prisoner doing? There are many families of such victims in AdVIC. I will not stop and I will continue to stand up for victims in whatever way I can but...

Seanad: Parole Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Jul 2019)

I know that many changes have...

Seanad: Parole Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Jul 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: -----for people who have influenced me greatly. I am not just influenced by AdVIC but by the society in which we are becoming very violent. We are entertained by violence and communicate through violence wrongly. We are trying in the best way that we can, starting with young people in education, and in 1,000 different ways, to look at who we are. We are not the monkey shaved; we are...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I did not.

Seanad: Parole Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Jul 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I did not mean at all that people from disadvantaged areas are criminals. It is a fact that many of our prisoners would not have had the thousands of different advantages that others have.If one looks at lots of the research in the area that is what I was speaking about and the meaningless of that. I will not call for a vote on this.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank the witnesses for attending. They have come a long way. I sometimes give out at this committee, wrongly or rightly, to other Deputies and Senators for being territorial, since I believe this is a national committee. I gave out to a Deputy earlier, but I was wrong. This is a brilliant national project. I congratulate the witnesses on it. What they have done as a voluntary group...
