- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Brendan Howlin: The Minister is very much downplaying what is a fundamental change in law. It is a matter of constitutional law, as determined by the Supreme Court. I make the general point that it is unfortunate that such a change would be brought in as a Committee Stage amendment without proper pre-legislative scrutiny. A number of external bodies, including the Irish Human Rights and Equality...
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Brendan Howlin: The second amendment to the amendment would amend section 19(1) of the 1956 Act by deleting the ground for revocation of citizenship provided for in paragraph (e) of the subsection. That ground is that a person to whom citizenship was granted has by a voluntary act other than marriage or civil partnership acquired another citizenship. This ground reinforces the notion we have two classes of...

- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)

Some things are proper to an end-of-term miscellaneous provisions discussion, things that we all agree should be done, and there will not be any suitable vehicle coming through. ...

Brendan Howlin: On amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 3, I am disappointed the Minister is not accepting even the amendments to the amendment, as opposed to the general view from this side of the House that she might delay. If this proposal had been fleshed out and ready to go, it would have been included in the published Bill from the start. It arrived after the Bill had been published and after the Second...
