Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Garda Deployment (12 Mar 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: It is interesting the Minister discussed the efforts by the Government to put in place resources to militate against cross-Border crime. Has the Minister considered allowing the PSNI or the Garda to follow criminals across the Border? There are European Union member states which allow national police forces to cross borders when they are in pursuit of individuals. Does the Minister think...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Garda Deployment (12 Mar 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: The processes and tools being used by the Government seem, to an extent, to be frozen in time. While everyone in this Chamber supports the Good Friday Agreement, evolution in cross-Border integration and co-operation is necessary. On cross-Border hot pursuits, which different jurisdictions in Europe already allow for, would the Government not at least consider this and enter negotiations...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Insurance Costs (12 Mar 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: For the record, it is not just me who is saying the Government is sitting on its hands with regard to insurance reform and that insurance reform is dead in this country. It is the representative organisations of small businesses which are paying these massive premiums and which are being put out of business that are saying this. It always interests me that Fine Gael likes to give the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Insurance Costs (12 Mar 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: This shows that this is clearly not even in the right ballpark. It is incredible. I know of a situation in which a family with a young child who had a small cut, not a serious cut, in 2014 made a claim again in 2019. We know of situations in which claims for about €6,000 are going to court but are resulting in legal costs of €26,000. How can the Minister of State stand over...
