Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: I agree with Mr. Finn that PULSE in general is at the root of many problems. I know our discussions are on data, key performance indicators, KPIs, and multiple other crime statistics and elements. When will the witnesses be confident that the CSO can properly verify the data that is produced? That is a confidence issue for data collection generally. Perhaps Dr. Singh can answer my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: I refer to a case in which a person was assaulted and injured, so it was an assault causing harm for which a criminal conviction was secured. Then, within three years, he or she passed away due to head injuries secondary to the assault or suffered a stroke or something. What is the reclassification process if someone has already been convicted of a crime but there is a subsequent...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: Does the Garda Síochána rely on the medical evidence in that case?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: Does the Garda Síochána not only reply on the medical evidence but the medical presentation of the subsequent facts?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: Does that happen properly at present? Obviously the Garda Síochána can only be accountable for the information that it receives. Is Mr. Sutton confident that the other side is presenting the subsequent facts? Is that another issue, for which the Garda Síochána would not be directly responsible? Is the public health system presenting what it perceives as a pathological...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: Do medical people etc. have a reporting obligation under any criminal code?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: If the Garda Síochána is in a vacuum of information or if it stands still in the context of information it has previously received and something subsequently happens that person, unless the Garda Síochána is given the follow-through of information, how can the Garda be expected to upgrade a particular crime for what has happened medically? I am not sure whether the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (14 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: Like the other members, I welcome the Bill and thank the Minister and Deputy Kelly for the work they have done. Deputy Wallace mentioned that the €500 fee will be prohibitive for some of the smaller start-up breweries. Is there any flexibility around the amendment he has proposed? I refer to the guided tour obligation. What oversight does the Minister propose for that? In terms...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: Two of the amendments in the group make sense in the context of the section the Minister proposes to insert. The first proposal, in amendment No. 3 in the name of Deputy Mick Wallace, is to extend the time during which sales will be permitted to 7 p.m. I support this proposal and ask the Minister to consider it before the Report Stage debate. A second proposal by Deputy Wallace would...

Jack Chambers: However, the section falls.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: I would like an explanation from the Minister about why the Government is refusing to shift from the current position that Deputy O'Callaghan has outlined. Surely, if the Minister is trying to reform the process, there is a need to provide explanation and further detail. That is in Deputy Ó Laoghaire's drafting. No person will be identified. It is a case of formalising and opening up...

Jack Chambers: The current position does not change.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: As the Minister has drafted it, the position would remain the same.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: I move amendment No. 180:In page 39, to delete lines 25 and 26. This adds another arm to the procedures committee in the context of administrative support. Surely the commission will have the necessary administrative support. I do not see the necessity to have a specific reference to it in the legislation. While the committee has taken a position to support the procedures committee, I do...

Dublin Traffic: Motion [Private Members] (20 Feb 2018)

Jack Chambers: That is correct. I welcome the motion brought forward by my colleague, Deputy Lahart. The Minister has delivered for the people of south Dublin in the recent Transport 2040. They will have another mode of transport with the metro being extended, in addition to their Luas and DART lines and their quality bus corridors. However, in north Dublin, we are still faced with congestion,...
