Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: There are a couple of key arguments to respond to in what the Minister has said. The first is the conditions are too cumbersome and it will mean electronic monitoring will not be selected and therefore it defeats the purpose. I do not accept that. The Judiciary is more than capable of balancing the requirements and the conditions I have put forward. In many ways, it could be argued the...

Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I remind Deputy Mattie McGrath that the people we are discussing are on bail and have not been convicted of an offence, which is the reason they are on bail. The Deputy has them convicted and hanged. I also remind him that the cost of incarceration is a considerable burden on taxpayers. If we can get this system working and keep people out of prison, we will all be better off, even...

Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 4:In page 6, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:“8. The Act of 1997 is amended in section 6D by the insertion of “subject to the condition that all contracts for the performance of monitoring duties entered into with private providers by the Government after the commencement date of this Act shall stipulate that such activities shall be...

Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 6:In page 8, to delete lines 3 to 7 and substitute the following: “ “9B.(a) Where an application for bail is made or renewed by a person charged with an offence, a court shall give reasons for its decision to grant or refuse the application including reasons for a decision to impose or vary any conditions to be contained in the recognisance to be entered...

Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: There are contradictions in what both the Tánaiste and Deputy O'Callaghan have said. On the one hand they are making the argument that this will be an enormous burden of work for our hard-pressed District Court judges who are flat-out already; I accept that they are. However, on the other hand, they then say that the information is there anyway and people can get it. If it is there...

Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: That point has been adequately addressed. There is no delay involved whatsoever. The issue is black and white. In terms of the Minister's point about issues arising years later and that one could never get the information, the information is supposed to be kept so there should not be any difficulty in accessing it. If it is digitally recorded in particular then it will be accessible. It...

Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 9:In page 8, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following:“10.The Act of 1997 is amended by the insertion of the following after section 11:“11A.The Minister shall, within 12 months of the enactment of this Bill, make costed recommendations to Government in regard to providing bail supports in the State, to include but not limited to bail information...

Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: These supports are beyond overdue. It is precisely because we only have a pilot scheme in regard to youth services and nothing for adults that we need to fast-track these proposals or at least give this issue the priority it has not been given up to now. In putting what is proposed into the legislation we would be beefing up the onus on the Minister to look at this area, cost the supports...

Criminal Justice Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: The committee has finished its deliberations on penal reform and we have a packed agenda so there is no way we will be able to squeeze this in. We are putting the onus back on the Minister and we do not know who the Minister will be. I accept the bona fides of the current Minister but we need this to be in the lap of the Department of Justice and Equality from tonight, because it is long...

Written Answers — Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Arms Trade (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: 257. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation further to Parliamentary Question No. 51 of 16 May 2017, if she will clarify the fact that the weapons category ML5 is not defined as electronic control devices and components, per the common military list of the European Union published on 21 April 2015 and that the components which fall under the ML5 category include other...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Parole Bill 2016: Committee Stage (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 2:In page 5, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:" "parole candidate” includes any individual who has made an application for parole;". This provides the definition of a parole candidate. It is probably radical enough, as it would be a change in the situation whereby it would be defined as somebody who has made an application for parole with no...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Parole Bill 2016: Committee Stage (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: That is good. We will agree for now and see what happens later. That is great.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Parole Bill 2016: Committee Stage (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 3:In page 5, line 24, to delete "section 22" and substitute "section 22(1) and (2)". This bundle of amendments would empower the parole board to make recommendations regarding sentence management and transfer to open prisons. Deputy O'Callaghan's amendments seek to do the same thing, perhaps in a slightly different way. His amendments are more simple, with just a line...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Parole Bill 2016: Committee Stage (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I accept the point regarding amendment No. 3 being unnecessary, and there is no problem withdrawing it. It is probably the case that amendment No. 6 rather than amendment No. 5 should be accepted. I will not worry about that. However, amendments Nos. 72 and 73 are linked and their purpose is to precisely to overcome the issue of the board being involved in the day to day management of the...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Parole Bill 2016: Committee Stage (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I am not sure on that but we can look at it later as well.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Parole Bill 2016: Committee Stage (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: Yes.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Parole Bill 2016: Committee Stage (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: Before Deputy O'Callaghan continues, my amendment No. 5 refers to "sentence management and issue orders". That is the key difference. Amendment No. 6 does not refer to "issue orders", but can orders still be issued if amendment No. 6 was accepted?
