Mick Wallace: The person they are looking to audit is also on the committee. We could go around in circles forever. I do not see an appetite to achieve what I suggest.

Mick Wallace: In 2016, there were 35 breaches of procurement guidelines in the area of the Prison Service representing a total of €7 million. Does the Minister have any figures for 2017? That was 2016. Are the problems in this area are being addressed?

Mick Wallace: I thank the Minister. An issue that often comes up is the number of people who serve time in prison in Ireland due to non-payment of fines. What percentage of people would have spent time in prison for that reason? Are there figures available for 2017?

Mick Wallace: Perhaps I missed it in the documentation, but is any money being allocated for creating a structure or facility for community service? We have spoken about community service a lot in recent years. It will be very difficult for the judges to use that facility if we do not build a structure for it. There has to be some sort of structure in place to allow individuals to be given community...

Mick Wallace: I wish to add to the points made by other Deputies about the extra €300,000 for GSOC. For a number of years we argued that GSOC had pretty much been designed to fail and was not fit for purpose. We tried to have the legislation changed on how it was structured. Also, it goes without saying the amount of moneys to which it has had access to carry out its work was not close to being...

Mick Wallace: We all realise the number of people seeking asylum or refugee status here will not diminish in the near future, given the amount of wars that are taking place around the world. We only have to look to places like Yemen to see that a lot of the problems of tomorrow are being created today by the indiscriminate destruction in that country. It is probably worth noting that none of the three...

This was the first test of section 7 of the UK's Bribery Act, which provides that a corporate body is guilty of an offence if a...

Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)

Mick Wallace: I am not making allegations. I am stating facts. I want the Taoiseach to dig deeper. Not only does NAMA have a tendency to play a bit footloose with criminal law, but it seems to care little for the data protection law. Two months ago, the Data Protection Commissioner found that NAMA was in breach of its obligations under data protection law regarding requests for data from the O'Flynn...
