Pa Daly: Of course, but I disagree on the point that was raised that one cannot put four courtrooms in the existing building. There is so much empty space within the current structure that it would be easy to put two if not three additional courtrooms in the building. For a lot of reasons, including the carbon footprint of constructing a new building, it would be within the overall common good of...

Pa Daly: I have a question arising out of what the Minister said. He reported the 13,600 applications to the International Protection Office and there is additional funding, which includes €9 million for the appeals tribunal. Obviously, there are other programmes and I welcome the announcement today about the golden visa programme being shut down. On a breakdown of the figures on where people...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (21 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: In relation to amendment No. 4, it is more or less the same. The way that it is defined at the moment is that ""hatred" means hatred against a person or a group". It is just to flesh out the definition in a more comprehensive way.

Housing and Evictions: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: Last Friday I was in the Mitchels area of Tralee. I visited an award-winning social housing scheme for older people of 56 houses. I was informed that ten of those houses are empty and another four have been unoccupied for more than three years because the tenants are part of the fair deal scheme and have been in a nursing home for up to three years. Almost 25% of the houses in this scheme,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Vacant Properties (22 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: In the dying days of Tralee Town Council, there was a focus on housing for the elderly. A scheme was enacted in respect of land at the rear of an old convent in the centre of town that was gifted by the Sisters of Mercy. The development there is called Tobar Naofa. I visited the area last week. There are 56 housing units constructed to the highest specifications, with their own heating...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Vacant Properties (22 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: I read the Minister of State's reply, but what is not stated is the average length of time it takes Kerry County Council to turn around a vacant house. I understand that we have to deal with families and that there are items left behind, which is sometimes the case. In Tobar Naofa, there are ten units are vacant. One vacant house facing onto the Dean's Lane side of the complex has been...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (22 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: I listened while others were talking about the upcoming anniversary. There is another anniversary coming up, as the Taoiseach is aware, with regard to Ballyseedy. People may or may not know of the incident, nearly 100 years ago, when eight prisoners were taken from custody, tied to a landmine and blown up. I recently spoke to the nephew of one of the men who was killed. He is upset that,...

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Second Stage (22 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: I will share time with Deputies Ward and Paul Donnelly. Tógfaidh mé deich nóiméad dom féin. I commend the Minister of State's speech, which is excellently written. I will deal with a few things within in. There is reference in it to assisting people with mental health and addiction conditions. As we know, I believe there were 7,000 call-outs to An Garda...
