- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2016)
Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Although we have already addressed this matter, it is neither an amendment to nor in substitution of wording presented in the original drafting of the Bill. It is a new section and therefore had to have stand-alone address. There is probably no need to comment further on this, as we have addressed it substantively.

It is not something that can be done in advance. Deputies Seamus Healy, Jim...

- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Courts Bill 2016: Committee Stage (8 Dec 2016)
Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: With regard to procedure and for the Deputy's information, if the amendment is pressed and if it is accepted and I put the section, as amended, it will then be excluded because it would be part of the section to be deleted. I can only indicate to the Deputy that there is an expectation, and anticipation, that section 2 will not stand part of the Bill. That is unusual but I must say it...

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The fact that the Deputy is not a member of the committee does not in any way impair his opportunity to participate in the debate. His presence and participation are hugely welcome. It is an unfortunate consequence of the arrangement to allow the Courts Bill to proceed, but he will have an opportunity to retable the amendment in a more advantageous position within the legislation on Report...
