Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: The witnesses are saying two different things here. The person who is head of corporate affairs for the Prison Service has just said that in some respects it is a lot cheaper to have somebody electronically monitored than not and Mr. Waters is saying that overall the scale of this will be very expensive. It is included in the bail Bill and will be left up to the Garda to make an application...

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: I will tell you where I am coming from. Operation Thor was announced with a lot of fanfare and with a very small amount of money, when one looks at the overtime bill. Electronic tagging was thrown in as an afterthought after the announcement was made. In my opinion, it was done to quell concerns about the issue arising from bail and burglaries around the country. It was thrown in by the...

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: The Chairman has asked me to finish. The last thing I have to ask concerns the issue of the foster home that we have dealt with in this committee over the past year. There are policy issues arising from that. It is currently being looked at by a senior counsel. The terms of reference are too narrow. The senior counsel will come back with his report shortly. The third aspect of this is...

- Hospital Emergency Departments: Motion [Private Members] (10 Nov 2015)
John Deasy: The motion mentions poorer outcomes for patients, safety and quality of patient care, standards of treatment, elderly patients and conditions that may jeopardise patient care. If one just arrived from a different country, walked into this Parliament and picked up the motion and read it, one would probably consider it to be quite reasonable if one did not know who was running the health...

When the witnesses were being questioned, one of the senior officials in the Department of Justice and Equality made a comment that in their opinion judges were not taking burglaries seriously enough....
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee. (12 Nov 2015)
John Deasy: I propose that the Department of Justice and Equality explain to this committee why the official in question was forced to apologise in writing to the President of the District Court. The official gave an honestly held opinion which is backed up by the legislation now going through Parliament. The pressure put on the official to write the apology was uncalled for. I believe the official...
