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

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 84:In page 21, to delete lines 30 and 31 and substitute the following: “(3) When subsection (3) does not apply, the Board may only exercise its powers under subsection (1) following a review or hearing.”. This amendment is concerned with the circumstances where if the chairperson of the board considers that circumstances require urgent action, a warrant...

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

Clare Daly: On that basis, I will not press the amendment but I would say to Deputy O'Callaghan that I am explicitly excluding the sections where there is a need to act urgently. I was not concerned with diluting the powers of the board there, I was only putting it forward in the circumstances where the board said that it was not urgent and to provide for the review to be held beforehand rather than...

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

Clare Daly: Okay.

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

Clare Daly: This was requested by the existing parole board. Often it can be incredibly difficult to get documents or recordings from the Courts Service in a timely manner. Including this will help, which is why it has been proposed.

Other Questions: Animal Breeding Regulations (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: 10. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the position regarding the dog breeding establishment guideline review; if he is satisfied that a proactive approach is being taken with regard to protecting animals in dog breeding establishments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24982/17]

Other Questions: Animal Breeding Regulations (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I do not understand why this question has not been grouped with Question No. 56 from my colleague, Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan. She has spearheaded this issue for a long time. The question is about the status of the dog breeding establishment guideline review. We tabled the question because the legislation that is currently in place is not effective. The enforcement of those regulations,...

Other Questions: Animal Breeding Regulations (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: There will be some comfort taken from the fact that the review has not been shelved. That was a genuine concern. It is precisely because there is not a robust regulatory regime in existence that the review of the guidelines is imminently necessary. There are 73 registered puppy farms in Ireland with at least 30,000 dogs being produced every year. That is 410 dogs per misnamed puppy farm -...

Other Questions: Animal Breeding Regulations (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State has said this is a priority for him. I believe that and I am glad of it. Many good submissions were made by the public. It would be completely wrong if we were not to take them into account. The reason they were made is that the current system is not fit for purpose. In particular there needs to be a proactive approach in respect of issues such as the use of...

Other Questions: Pyrite Remediation Programme (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: 12. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government if he will request the pyrite board to initiate a review of the pyrite remediation scheme with particular reference to an assessment of the way in which the certification process can be made more efficient in order that properties which have pyrite but low levels of damage can be promptly issued with a green...

Other Questions: Pyrite Remediation Programme (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I again ask the Minister where we are in terms of an urgent review of the pyrite remediation scheme. As he well knows, currently it is not fit for purpose. It is particularly not fit for purpose for those stuck in the middle, that is, whose properties are damaged but not damaged enough to be remediated. They cannot get a green certificate showing that they are pyrite-free because of the...

Other Questions: Pyrite Remediation Programme (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: The problem is not the new standard. The changes in it, although we have not seen it, will alter the situation a little for some people. However, it will not correct the fundamental flaws with the scheme. I know that the Minister of State knows that there are hundreds of people in his constituency who are suffering because of this issue. Having raised the issue at every Question Time...

Other Questions: Pyrite Remediation Programme (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: If a house does not need to be fixed, it would be utterly ridiculous to fix it. No one is proposing that. However, if a property has pyrite, there has to be a system where, it having been studied after another period of time and demonstrated that the damage has not progressed, one could say the level of pyrite has already oxidised and will not develop further or is of such a low level as to...

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Independent Review Mechanism (25 May 2017)

Clare Daly: 72. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality her plans to consider the cases that went before the independent review mechanism due to the fact that the process was undermined by the failure to allow applicants engage orally with the panel team or to have input into the setting of the terms of reference regarding same and that no further action was taken in most cases....

Written Answers — Department of Finance: State Banking Sector (25 May 2017)
