- Juvenile Offenders (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Why does the Minister think the anti-social behaviour orders have been such a complete and abject failure?
- Juvenile Offenders (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Is it not the case that since the law was invoked in 2007 three anti-social behaviour orders have been made? Is it not the case that the Garda SÃochána do not in reality operate the system? The Minister has referred to 1,541 warnings. Is it not the case that they are entirely meaningless? Since the Garda SÃochána was established in 1922 gardaà warned young fellows. What does that...
- Juvenile Offenders (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: What I am trying to do is provide protection to communities and persons who are adversely affected by anti-social behaviour. For the Minister to say I am trying to encourage the Garda to apply an ASBO to every child when three have been applied since the system was introduced is fantastic and ridiculous. Is it not the case that the Minister committed to a range of measures in this area in...
- Garda Investigations (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Question 40: To ask the Minister for Justice and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the call made by the family of Father Niall Molloy, who died in violent circumstances in a house in Clara, County Offaly, in 1985 for a new garda investigation into the case in view of new information that has emerged; if he will request the gardaà to re-open the investigation; and if he will...
- Garda Investigations (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Does the Minister not agree the story published in the Irish Independent by a reputable journalist is profoundly disquieting and ought to be a cause for concern for the Minister for Justice and Law Reform of the day? I thank him for the minimal information he has given Deputy Shatter. It is a great deal more and different in character from the information contained in the written reply he...
- Garda Investigations (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Is it not the case that the difference between the answer given in December 1986 and today's situation is that such new facts as referred to by the then Minister for Justice have emerged? For example, these new facts relate to the time lag between the death occurring and the Garda being called, the fire in the Offaly coroner's office and the destruction of the file, and the retired sergeant...
- Garda Investigations (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The commission of investigations is a matter for the Minister.
- Prison Committals (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Leaving aside Thornton Hall and whether the Minister or I will ever see it completed, is the Minister satisfied that it is the correct thrust of policy to seek to continue to provide more prison cells? Why are we not dealing with the situation of minor offenders not being incarcerated in prison? Why are we not dealing with the situation of more prisoners being incarcerated in open prisons,...
- Prison Committals (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: It is evidence of more crime.
- Prison Committals (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Do I take it then that the way to reduce crime is to reduce the number of judges and gardaÃ?
- Prison Committals (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The people are being convicted because they have committed a crime.
- Criminal Legal Aid (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: It has been a pattern of the Minister's successive periods in Government that quangos and agencies have been established to do work previously done by the administrative government. If it is the case that additional staff prove necessary to fund this transfer of the criminal legal aid scheme, will the staff be transferred from existing State service?
- Bank Guarantee Scheme: Motion (Resumed) (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Under the terms of the banks bailout Act of 2008 the Minister is required to get the approval of the Dáil to amend the eligible liabilities guarantee. He is also required to get the approval of the European Commission, and he is required to do so every six months. This particular approval is to continue to guarantee an aggregate figure of â¬147 billion. It is not clear why the Minister...
- Bank Guarantee Scheme: Motion (Resumed) (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The reference is the Honohan report, paragraph 8.38, page 127-8. The Minister of State told us today that the euro group is delighted with the moves we took. It was horrified at the time and the Minister of State and the Government ploughed ahead. It may have been the case that on that fateful night the Minister and Taoiseach did not have the expertise available to them. We have all...
- Bank Guarantee Scheme: Motion (Resumed) (17 Nov 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The Minister of State is making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
- Bank Guarantee Scheme: Motion (Resumed) (17 Nov 2010)
