Seanad: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2023)

Mark Daly: In section 70(2) it says that the annual report "shall not be submitted to the Minister unless it has been adopted by the Board". This goes back to the implementation of the strategic plan under section 64(1). I wanted to get clarification on the broader point made under section 70(3)(g), where there is a reference to "any other matters that the Board might think fit". That is a bit broad,...

Seanad: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2023)

Mark Daly: The Cathaoirleach might rule me out on this one because it might sound like repetition. The reason I am making the point is that it says the same thing again, "a report on the performance of An Garda Síochána during the preceding year". This relates to section 70(1), where the Minister will get this report. The reason I am-----

Seanad: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2023)

Mark Daly: Yes, section 70(1). On the report on performance - and it goes back to the point I had made on this topic but it is relevant to this section as well - what is the measurement of that, who is allocated, and what are the consequences for those performance targets not being met? I know that sounds like repetition but it is in the section, and that is the point I am making on it. I know this...

Seanad: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2023)

Mark Daly: Going back to a point I made previously, section 71(5) states: "The Board shall, as soon as practicable, after the approval by the Minister under subsection (3) of the governance framework, arrange for the publication of the framework on a website maintained by or on behalf of An Garda Síochána or in such other manner as the Minister may specify."It sounds like repetition but the...

Seanad: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2023)

Mark Daly: The view of Government is a publication of a report is only on a website or such other manners as the Minister may specify. What I would like as a principle is not allowable because there is no mention here that there would be subsequent statutory instruments outlining how the Minister would specify those frameworks and so on would be published. All the documents I have referred to would be...
