Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: I will not press amendment No. 21 now, but I reserve the right to re-enter it. I am not sure I have the wording exactly right at this stage.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: In some ways, we are probably trying to do the same thing by reconfiguring the lay membership and striking a better, more representative balance as part of that. Amendments in the preceding group - they could not be moved because Deputy Sherlock was not present - overlapped with this in some respects. I am not sure what the final configuration will be and so we probably will not be able to...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: Amendment No. 33 must be viewed in conjunction with amendment No. 34 under which one would have the addition of the nominees from Free Legal Advice Centres Limited and the Irish Council for Civil Liberties. The total number would be the same, but the composition of lay members would be different.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: I know that it has been ruled out of order, but the idea was to have six lay representatives. It was really peculiar to rule it out of order on the basis that it involved a potential charge on the Exchequer, whereas if I had used a different word, it would not have been. We all accept that the Bill will be reconfigured on Report Stage. The aim of the discussion it is to have a balance with...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 39:In page 14, to delete lines 4 to 10. We are proposing to remove the provision where members appointed by the PAS or nominated by the Bar Council or Law Society do not have to go through that process again to be reappointed after three years but can simply be reappointed by the Minister. It is self-evident. Why have a three-year term if we are going to then ignore...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: This is about making space for the best people for the job. Board members might be doing a perfectly adequate job, but someone who is even better qualified might come along. Rather than an appointment being at the blessing of the Minister, it should be open to a competitive process. Existing board members could go through that process as well.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 41:In page 14, line 11, to delete “section 16” and substitute “section 15”. The whole group of amendments is around removing the power to nominate the legal members of the commission from the Bar Council and the Law Society. Of all the nominating bodies proposed either by the Government or by Deputy O'Callaghan in his Bill, I have the most...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: As the Minister said - I am not fully sure whether he was being smart - I am all in favour of practising barristers and solicitors being involved in this body. That is precisely why I moved amendments in respect of the appointments from some of the external bodies like FLAC and the ICCL such that, even though they may be representing the lay component, their representatives could still be...

Other Questions: Naval Service Operations (24 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State tells us that 520 boats have been destroyed, up from 480 the last time we asked. Over 42,000 migrants have been rescued. What the Minister of State has not addressed is the fact that many of those ended up going back on worse or more unsafe dinghies to try to escape Libya. What the Minister of State has not said is that many of them do not get to leave and are in...

Other Questions: Naval Service Operations (24 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State is missing the point. Obviously, it great that they are raising the matter but there is a major contradiction. While they are raising these matters verbally, Government actions are actually facilitating a situation whereby people are either being kept in Libya in detention centres or are being sent back there. It is an extraordinary irony that we hear people...
