Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (Supplementary)
Vote 22 - Courts Service (Supplementary)
Vote 24 - Department of Justice (Supplementary) (1 Dec 2021)

Pa Daly: I have a general question on the money that might be left over in the context of the Covid pandemic. Many Garda stations, particularly in rural areas, were closed during the austerity years. Barraduff Garda station was recently reopened. With the need for distancing to avoid the spread of Covid, are there any plans to expand reopenings? For example, are there any plans to reopen the...

Vote 24 - Department of Justice (Supplementary) (1 Dec 2021)

Pa Daly: Maybe I should raise this in respect of the Courts Service, but a complaint was recently made to me about the number of judges available. I do not know whether that matter falls under judges' pay or the Courts Service. I am aware of a person who has a terminal cancer diagnosis and wanted to put their affairs in order. They asked for the earliest possible date to hear their case and this...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (1 Dec 2021)

Pa Daly: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe go léir as teacht isteach. Tá cúpla ceist agam do Tim Lucey ó Chorcaigh mar gheall ar an bplean forbartha. Bhí cúpla gearán againn. Dúirt daoine liom go raibh sé ar fáil i mBéarla amháin. Is ar éigean a rinneadh aon tagairt do Chúil Aodha sa phlean agus ní raibh tagairt...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (1 Dec 2021)

Pa Daly: No. It might have been unfair of me to ask Ms Murrell specifically about this. One of the recommendations in the joint statement we received from the various councils was that clarity be sought from the Office of the Attorney General on the legal enforceability of conditions relating to the ability of occupants to speak the Irish language. That probably relates to the Belgian decision. My...

Pa Daly: On subhead A2.6, as the Minister of State correctly said, there are currently two courts in the existing building. That does not take into account all the spare space that is within the building. There is enough space, in my opinion, for at least three extra courtrooms in the existing premises. There was a review which, I believe, is outdated for a number of reasons, including, most...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (1 Dec 2021)

Pa Daly: Labhair Moira Murrell mar gheall ar serviced sites agus na rudaí sin. Tá sé go maith é sin a chloisteáil. Gabhaim buíochas leis an bhfoireann go léir. Chuala mé le déanaí go raibh gealltanas ó Chomhairle Contae Chiarraí go mbeadh freagra tugtha ar gach iarratas pleanála as Gaolainn. Tá sé sin ag tarlú agus...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2021 (8 Dec 2021)

Pa Daly: I welcome all the witnesses. Like Senator Ward, I will start with head 42 since I worked for 25 years as a solicitor in the court in Dublin, in addition to Garda stations in Dublin and Kerry. I always think back to the introduction of the drug trafficking law with the power to hold people in detention for seven days. The first person I saw who was held under that legislation was a homeless...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2021 (8 Dec 2021)

Pa Daly: I will go back to what Senator Ward said about consultations happening out of earshot of gardaí. I am not sure why that is there. One should be allowed a consultation with a solicitor in a private room if one has been arrested. I would be interested to hear the reasoning for that. Certainly in my time, there were Garda stations, one in particular in Dublin, that routinely would make...
