Industrial Development (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (28 Mar 2018)

Clare Daly: Maybe he will come in afterwards. I thank Deputy McGrath for stepping into the breach when I thought I would be late.

While I have not tabled an amendment on this Stage I certainly will do so, although the Bill is probably not amendable and...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Domestic Violence Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (28 Mar 2018)

Clare Daly: The two amendments tabled by Deputy Wallace and I try to do the same thing. They attempt to provide a remedy for women in situations where they need an emergency barring order in the evening or late at night when the courts are closed. Obviously, we can envisage such scenarios and we want to avoid a situation where somebody could effectively be driven out of their home in the middle of the...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Domestic Violence Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (28 Mar 2018)

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Domestic Violence Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (28 Mar 2018)

Clare Daly: What we are both trying to deal with is a situation similar to the powers the Garda has relating to children who are at risk, which we discussed at length in this committee, whereby the Garda is given exceptional powers to intervene in an immediate situation.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Domestic Violence Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (28 Mar 2018)

Clare Daly: I was a bit unclear as to why it was proposed. Originally the provision stated if a District Court judge was not available people could go to any District Court, but now we are saying they cannot and there is a legal impediment as to why this is the case. I could not understand why the change was being made.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Domestic Violence Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (28 Mar 2018)

Clare Daly: The Minister made good points. On the face of it, it appears to give an indication of how seriously we take breaches of safety and protection orders, which is good, but we can see how the idea of a chilling effect might play out. While it looks good, it goes against what I believe in terms of reducing incarceration. I do not believe we should go in the direction of mandatory minimum...
