Fines (Payment and Recovery) Bill 2013: Report Stage (19 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: Deputy Wallace has made several very important points which go to the heart of certain ethical and practical issues relating to these proposals. With no disrespect to the Minister of State, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, it is a disgrace that the Minister, Deputy Alan Shatter, is not in the Chamber for this debate. In fact, it is unprecedented for the lead Minister not to be present for the...

Fines (Payment and Recovery) Bill 2013: Report Stage (19 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: It is appropriate that we raise ethical and ideological arguments around this issue and this is an appropriate forum in which to do so. To substantiate the point, there would be widespread acceptance of the idea that sending people to prison for a short time is a failed policy. My point about fines being a replacement is precisely the one being made. If people have an ability to pay, it is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: I have a couple of brief questions. If I am brief, I would like the Minister to be brief, so I can come back in with some more. It is strange that, unlike GSOC, the Garda Commissioner is solely accountable to the Minister, and that he did not deem it appropriate to ask Mr. Martin Callinan to account for his actions over the course of the past two weeks. The review will be fully...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: -----spying on GSOC. No one said there was. He has missed the point. The issue is that a password-protected secure GSOC network was capable of connecting to something. That is the issue, not what it was connecting to. The Minister claims there is nothing there. Can he explain these anomalies?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: I am going back to my original questions, none of which, conveniently, were answered. I will rehearse them because the Minister might be a bit tired. In respect of the first question, the Minister said that GSOC and the security companies will be co-operating with the judge's inquiry. Will the Minister and the Garda Commissioner co-operate with this inquiry? Why did the Minister not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: The Minister is answering questions I am not asking. From what the Minister is saying, one would be led to believe that he and the Garda Commissioner are not included under the terms of reference and that it is quite a specific issue with GSOC. We will know later, I suppose.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: I am seeking what members of the public are seeking, which is a reasonable, comprehensive and transparent explanation for what has gone on over the past period. It is relevant to my second question, which the Minister did not answer. I noticed that he failed to deal with the issue of whether there had been any authorised surveillance. He has said on the record that he did not commission any.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: Is the Minister telling this committee that he can categorically say that this has not been done? If so, on what is he basing his evidence and how can he say that there are no rogue elements of the Garda involved if, as he verified to Deputy Wallace, he never asked the Garda Commissioner?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)
