Other Questions: Garda Misconduct Allegations (26 May 2015)

Clare Daly: This question is obviously linked to the first priority question on the independent review mechanism. Approximately eight weeks ago, the Minister told the House the review was at a very advanced stage in the vast majority of cases and that the process of notifying people of outcomes would begin after Easter. We had a similar response today to the first question, but there are subtle...

Other Questions: Garda Misconduct Allegations (26 May 2015)

Clare Daly: I see. A problem is that nobody who has participated in the process so far sees it as independent and robust. When it was initiated, they were told it would take eight weeks. Let us be clear that it is a paper review and eight weeks was more than ample time for the Minister to decide that some issues related to the Judiciary or land law and could be parked. Those issues are not...

Clare Daly: It is very important to say this process, in fact, is not detailed and that either the Minister is being misinformed or she is not being kept updated on the issue.

Clare Daly: I did not set a short timeframe; the Minister was the one who set the timeframe. We were all shocked at the idea that such a timeframe would be advanced, but the only reason it was advanced was this was only to be a paper review and it has remained as such. The panel has refused to take onboard extra information and has not even queried information available.

Clare Daly: The amendments are critically important and get to the heart of many civil liberties issues. They are being discussed in the context of our supposed desire to combat terrorism. Yet, as Deputy Wallace said, terrorism is something we facilitate on a daily basis by being complicit in the efforts of the US war machine, which has been the key reason for which terrorism has exploded and the...

Criminal Justice (Terrorism Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages (26 May 2015)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State seemed to suggest there is no way out of this and we are required to legislate for this provision in this way. That is not correct. We have given examples from France, Germany, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria, all of which have chosen to incorporate this provision in an entirely different and restrictive way than the Minister of State and his Government have proposed....
