Justice Issues: Statements (21 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Taoiseach told us earlier today that he received the email the Tánaiste discussed today on the radio at 11.30 p.m. last night for the first time. Why did the Tánaiste not hand over the email to the Taoiseach when it surfaced on Thursday? Why did it take journalists like Ms Katie Hannon to make inquiries for this to surface? The Tánaiste essentially withheld this...

Justice Issues: Statements (21 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: In the context of the Taoiseach going on record saying the Tánaiste had no prior knowledge of this and first became aware of it in May 2016, it is scarcely credible that she would allow him to mislead the House in that way. We heard earlier a reference to the scoping exercise carried out by Mr. Justice Iarfhlaith O'Neill for putting together the Charleton tribunal's terms of...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Was the Tánaiste aware?

Rural Crime: Motion (21 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I gather I have to move an amendment.

Rural Crime: Motion (21 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I am still getting used to the procedures. We will be supporting the motion although we have tabled an amendment that we believe improves it. There is no question but that the issue of rural crime has been significant in recent months and probably for longer. I am aware of several horrific attacks in which people have been terrorised in respect of their property, health, and welfare and...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Estimates for Public Services 2017
Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (Revised) (22 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: My second question was not quite answered. I was not asking if legislative change is required for this transfer but whether any legislative change would be the responsibility of the new Department.

Order of Business (28 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Taoiseach has said very clearly that there will be an opportunity to ask questions of the Minister, Deputy Flanagan. However, the Order of Business that has been outlined contains no reference to that. There are very clear questions regarding the manner in which information was given to him through his Department and regarding the record of the Dáil in that wrong information was...

Rural Crime: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I move amendment No. 1:To delete all words after "the robbery of farming machinery and equipment" and substitute the following: "- greater powers and scope to be given to joint policing committees, as well as increasing their numbers, in order to ensure greater feedback from communities to the Garda; and - reinvestment in the national model of community policing, and a reverse of the...

Justice Issues: Statements (28 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: This sorry episode has seen the Secretary General, Mr. Noel Waters, resign from his position with immediate effect. He is the second Secretary General to resign in recent years, a fact which of itself raises alarm about the state of play in the Department. His resignation letter is quite remarkable. It states: "The Department has been subject to a barrage of unwarranted criticism in recent...

Justice Issues: Statements (28 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I do not think that quite answered the question. I was looking for a fairly direct statement on whether the Minister believed the criticism was warranted. He can answer that question along with this one. I will briefly outline a dateline for how the particular e-mail came to public attention. The Department located it on 9 November. On 13 November the Minister was notified by the...

Justice Issues: Statements (28 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I hope it will because there was a significant delay, even after their discovery within the Department, between them being brought to the Minister's attention and sent to the Charleton tribunal. I was interested in the Minister's response to Deputy O'Callaghan, which relates to whether these documents were considered before or whether they were news. He stated that, essentially, they are...

Justice Issues: Statements (28 Nov 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: -----it seems that, on inquiry, there legal issues to be dealt with and that certain proofing that had to be factored in. Again, however, I am very anxious to ensure that if there was any element of wilful neglect, it will be dealt with in the context of forthcoming events.
