Regina Doherty: ...Women's Council approached us in recent weeks to say that the supplement had not been working exactly how they had envisaged.

Topical Issue Debate: Cash for Gold Trade (12 Feb 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister. I appreciate and acknowledge that it was the current Minister who initiated the report and that the Garda provided it in an exceptionally timely manner with very good recommendations, all four of which are eminently doable. The reason for my frustration is that although the report was sent to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality last June, it is now...

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Garda Operations (19 Sep 2012)

Regina Doherty: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the action needed by the Garda Síochána and the security forces of this State to ensure that the type of funeral that took place in Donaghmede, Dublin, last week which showed a public demonstration by the IRA of the illegal use of weapons does not occur again; the number of Gardaí that were involved in policing this event; the...

Seanad: Public Order and Safe Streets: Statements (23 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: To be honest, I do not know how we can share five minutes between three of us. I will talk today about safer, stronger communities. To my mind, the only way to achieve this is to have more gardaí. I stand today on behalf of gardaí and to say on the record that the HR system and recruitment process of An Garda Síochána is absolutely and utterly broken. Those are not my...

Regina Doherty: ...ID. Where an Irish citizen person does not have acceptable photographic ID, their identity may be verified by means of an interview process. ML10 forms are issued in certain circumstances by a Garda for use by financial organisations for anti-money laundering purposes. However, the form is not, in itself, acceptable as evidence of identity for the purposes of SAFE registration. I hope...

Public Sector Numbers: Statements (8 Mar 2012)

Regina Doherty: Perhaps there is a reason for that. An Garda Síochána is taking a number of steps to improve the quality of the policing service it provides, including outsourcing the operation of safety cameras, the introduction of new ICT and implementation of new working rosters, all of which have been very successful in local stations. This is another example of how successful the Croke Park agreement...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Car Testing: Discussion (20 Sep 2023)

Regina Doherty: According to the story in the paper, it did. Obviously, I can rely only on that. I am not trying to be smart here – I honestly mean that – and I get that a case must be reported to the Garda, which is fine, but the RSA is the authority that allows the person to have another lady in his car the next week or month. There should be repercussions. Behavioural standards have to...

The Garda in Balbriggan is down nearly 10% on the quota of its...

Regina Doherty: ...that RTE specifically targeted three crèches on the basis of inspection reports in which the HSE had previously raised reservations. Still, RTE did not make any child protection complaint to the Garda Síochána. Can Mr. Jeyes confirm that he said that? What were the concerns of the HSE about the three crèches? When did RTE get copies of the inspection reports...

Seanad: Review of Allegations of Sexual Abuse at St. John Ambulance: Motion (17 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: ...20 or 25 years old. The public should be absolutely shocked that neither the officials in St. John's Ambulance to whom these allegations were reported donkey's years ago nor the members of the Garda to whom these allegations were reported donkey's years ago did anything about it. Nothing happened despite St. John's Ambulance finally in 2012 referring an allegation to the HSE. Tusla,...

I would respectfully ask the Deputy to withdraw the slur...
