Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: European Travel Information and Authorisation System: Motions (4 Oct 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I echo some of the concerns raised by Deputy Daly. The Minister said that it has no implications for Ireland but I do not agree with that because, obviously, it is proposed to share Irish data with this organisation. Regardless of whether this process will apply to Irish citizens, the data is Irish. I would have similar concerns about privacy. Our party has no objection in principle to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Issues Relating to An Garda Síochána: Acting Garda Commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin (4 Oct 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: This issue is slightly different from the breath test scandal, although no less serious, as it has had a direct impact on individual citizens, some of whom perhaps faced more serious consequences than a mere fine. I raised with the Policing Authority last week the fact that the Irish Examinerhad reported that in several cases people had faced more serious consequences. The case of a man in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Issues Relating to An Garda Síochána: Acting Garda Commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin (4 Oct 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: In relation to its most recent report, I find it remarkable that the Policing Authority is only satisfied with nine of the 50 recommendations An Garda Síochána claims to have been completed. The recommendations cross a wide range of areas and competencies and several relate to civilianisation. How does the acting Garda Commissioner account for such a significant discrepancy...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Issues Relating to An Garda Síochána: Acting Garda Commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin (4 Oct 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: While I can understand that there might be differences in interpretation, they range across a wide area. The gap between nine and 50 is a large number of recommendations on which to differ. The process of replacing the Garda Commissioner will be lengthy. What does the acting Commissioner intend to do to ensure that the pace of reform while that is going on does not slow but continues? ...

It is not due to poor investment, but the family is dealing with a situation where it looks as though the funds that were made available for her will not be sufficient as she lives beyond her life expectancy. I can see...
