Censorship of Publications Board Repeal Bill 2013: Second Stage (24 Jan 2014)

Niall Collins: That is correct. I was about to say that even the Reform Alliance could band together to work towards or against an appeal with regard to the prohibition of Deputy Shatter's book, depending on whether it is prohibited in the first instance. That would be quite interesting. The appeal board may affirm, revoke or vary the order so as to exclude a particular edition of the book from the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Community Courts System: Discussion (29 Jan 2014)

Niall Collins: I thank everybody who made a presentation. I have three questions and do not mind who replies. If, for example, we were to establish a footprint or network of community courts across Dublin, has anybody worked out how many we would be talking about? Would the goal be to cover the entire city or would it be envisaged that they would cover particular areas, hot spots or black spots? How...

Niall Collins: It is reasonable for the Minister to say that he does not have the actual details for the district level. Perhaps he or his officials can revert to us with what is, within the fleet management policy of the Garda Síochána, the minimum acceptable transport provision and to confirm whether it is detailed in the policing plan.
