Nordic Battle Group: Motion (5 Apr 2007)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: These motions are a further signal of the demise of Irish neutrality. No one has done more to diminish the neutrality of this State than the current partnership of Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats. They helped the United States to attack and invade Iraq in an illegal action commencing in 2003 by using Shannon Airport as a military staging post. They colluded in the United State's...

Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed) (24 Apr 2007)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendmentNo. 24: In page 8, to delete lines 30 to 38. It is good to see that at least one of the amendments survived. The intention is to remove the section which allows for the outsourcing of some of the classes of work the Tánaiste has outlined in this Bill. As far as I remember, it is the Tánaiste's hope that electronic tagging would be outsourced and that he could prescribe or...

Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed) (24 Apr 2007)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Amendment No. 27 in my name proposes the deletion of paragraph (g), which would solve the sequencing problem to which Deputy Howlin referred. I have a difficulty with this because a judge should be able to make a decision with regard to the merits of an application before him or her rather than on the basis of previous decisions made by other judges. The Tánaiste is trying to capture...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendmentNo. 28: In page 10, line 15, to delete "may" and substitute "shall". I argued this point before and the Tánaiste responded so I will not go into major detail.

Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (24 Apr 2007)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This amendment has been discussed for a time and there are other more pressing amendments to be discussed. While I welcome the fact that the Minister has moved somewhat with his amendment No. 33, it is still the case that the statement from a Garda superintendent is admissible as evidence, yet in section 2A(2), evidence given by such a member in the proceedings is not admissible in any...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendmentNo. 38: In page 13, to delete lines 1 to 47, and in page 14, to delete lines 1 to 17. Amendment No. 38 encapsulates my intention in respect of this section, which deals with electronic monitoring of certain persons who have been given bail.
