Prison Development (Confirmation of Resolutions) Bill 2008: Second Stage (24 Jun 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá áthas orm an deis labhartha seo a bheith agam. The Minister stated in his opening contribution that "the resolution was debated in detail in committee in both Houses". It was not debated in detail because there is very little detail. When I have raised this point, the Minister has said that the Prisons Act precludes details being disclosed. It does not. It only prevents disclosure...

Prison Development (Confirmation of Resolutions) Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages (24 Jun 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Would the Minister consider amending the section at this late stage to prevent the incarceration of young offenders in Thornton Hall, which the Minister has suggested will be the consequence of the suggested timeframe to which the Minister envisages Mr. Bernard McNamara and his company sticking? This is due to the fact that the Department has not succeeded in lodging the planning application...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas as an deis labhartha agus gabhaim buíochas leis an dTeachta Brian O'Shea as ucht a chuid ama a roinnt liom. Cuirim fáilte roimh an mBille seo. Is tábhachtach an rud é go bhfuil sé os ár gcomhair anois. Is fíor annamh a chloiseann éinne mise ag tacú le nó ag moladh Bille dlí agus cirt a thagann ó Fhine Gael, ach tarlaíonn rudaí ait anois agus arís. Sa chás...

Victims' Rights Bill 2008: Second Stage. (24 Jun 2008)

Victims' Rights Bill 2008: Second Stage. (24 Jun 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Which organisation was I quoting?

Victims' Rights Bill 2008: Second Stage. (24 Jun 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister does not have a clue because he did not have the manners to sit and listen. The organisation which commented on the Minister's proposals was the Irish Council for Civil Liberties. I will quote the council again, if the Minister so wishes: The changes the Minister has proposed will diminish the rights of accused people without improving life for victims of crime. It is a...

European Council: Statements (25 Jun 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Táim buíoch deis labhartha a bheith agam ar an méid a tharla ag Comhairle na hEorpa an tseachtain seo caite. Chuaigh an Taoiseach go dtí an cruinniú sin chun toradh vótála na hÉireann, i gcoinne chonradh Liospóin, a phlé. Nuair a labhair sé ag an gcruinniú sin, dúirt sé: For all of us, the will of the people is sovereign. They have spoken at the ballot box, the ultimate...

European Council: Statements (25 Jun 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: In 2005, the French and the Dutch people rejected the EU constitution. It is worth remembering that a lengthy national debate on the constitution took place in both countries. In France, one in ten people read the document cover to cover, something the Taoiseach failed to get around to doing. Perhaps he might read it again during the summer months.

European Council: Statements (25 Jun 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: If he negotiated it, he did not read it. The fact that he negotiated a document which he did not even read is scandalous and an even bigger indictment of him. It is all coming out clearly now. Massive public meetings were held in France with thousands of people in attendance. Following the French and Dutch rejection of the constitution, recriminations were rife. A two-speed Europe was...

European Council: Statements (25 Jun 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: He is not my ally. What the Taoiseach should have done last Thursday was acknowledge that the people he was put here to serve have given him a clear mandate with regard to the fate of the Lisbon treaty. We have also given him a comprehensive list of achievable deliverables that can be put in place in the treaty. These deliverables clearly reflected our commitment to and support for the...
