Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (7 Apr 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...possession. Whatever Judge Haughton is doing in relation to his scoping inquiry, he needs to be let do that but that does not prevent GSOC from providing those reports to the family. In fact, the Garda Commissioner is on the record as saying that these reports have been compiled by GSOC and that publication relates to Mr. Justice MacCabe's organisation alone. My question is, will GSOC...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Commissions of Inquiry (27 Sep 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...time for a full debate in this House on the scoping exercise report that has been laid before us. That is the least the Dáil deserves. Second, she can confirm whether she knows Zigimantas Gridziuska was a Garda informer. If she does not know that, she cannot say hand on heart that the full facts have been established by the scoping exercise. She could commit this morning that if...

Matt Carthy: ...Safety Bill. It has the potential to be important legislation. I note that among the stated objectives of the Bill is "to provide for clear and effective oversight and accountability of An Garda Síochána". It also includes provisions to restructure GSOC.

Matt Carthy: ...been in prison in light of multiple breaches of multiple bail conditions set by multiple courts. Every single person who understands these matters to whom to I have spoken privately, including many members of An Garda Síochána, have arrived at the same theory.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Nov 2021)

Matt Carthy: ...can be very long and drawn out. I would argue that in many cases the GSOC process is used by the Department to avoid having to answer questions. While it is in the process of GSOC, Ministers, the Garda and the Department all refuse to address issues. It was particularly frustrating when GSOC was dealing with the Shane O'Farrell case. I know GSOC is in our work plan. There have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: Yes. Again, let us say I am a buyer who sees an animal on Mr. Savage's website and make contact.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)

Matt Carthy: Can I ask a question on Head 10? Some colleagues already asked whether five members are sufficient for the board. In respect of the Data Protection Commission and the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission there is provision in legislation for the appointment of additional members if workloads increase. I am wondering why such a provision is not embedded in this Bill and whether the...
