Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998 and Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009: Motions (13 Jun 2018)

Maureen O'Sullivan: That is right. We know the reason for the original Special Criminal Court, which came out of the 1939 Act, was to protect Ireland's neutrality during the Second World War and we know of the circumstances of the Troubles in the 1970s. There is a longevity, however, to the Special Criminal Court. It now seems to be enshrined in our legal system and almost normalised as a court setting. That...

Maureen O'Sullivan: Yes.

Other Questions: Dog Breeding Industry (14 Jun 2018)

Maureen O'Sullivan: There is an urgency about these guidelines given the dreadful reputation Ireland has as the puppy farm capital of Europe. The conditions on puppy farms are poor and there is a lack of enforcement of regulations. Deputy Clare Daly and I constantly receive calls from individuals, organisations and animal welfare groups about those conditions. I checked the DoneDeal website this morning. It...

Other Questions: Dog Breeding Industry (14 Jun 2018)

Maureen O'Sullivan: The problem with inspections is that they are scheduled by appointment and, therefore, the dog breeding establishment knows when the inspector is coming.

The RSA maintains they make a difference and its surveys suggest adults are...

Leaders' Questions (19 Jun 2018)

Maureen O'Sullivan: The one point of comparison is that nobody wants deaths, but where there is a will, something can be done about it and road and drug related deaths can be prevented.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Christian Aid Tax Report: Discussion (21 Jun 2018)

Within that report there was a strong recommendation on the area of policy coherence. I...
