- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: No one said anything about their work.
- Legal Aid Service (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Question 56: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on discussions his officials have had with the Incorporated Law Society in relation to fees for the criminal legal aid system; the contingency plans in the events of withdrawal of services by participating barristers and solicitors in the scheme; if he will provide information on any other matter pertaining to this issue;...
- Legal Aid Service (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I welcome the engagement that has been announced and note the Minister outlined the membership of that task force and when he expects a report. He sometimes reminds me of a disc jockey from the 1980s who continually plays the same record, thereby keeping happy the fan base. There have been reports from an organisation called the Criminal Law Practitioners Association, which appears to have...
- Legal Aid Service (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: The Minister keeps throwing out those little grenades. He had no difficulty in finding â¬30 million in his Department for the Garda overtime for the visits of the Queen and President Obama, and we have yet to see from where he found it. If he wants to look for money, he is able to find it.
- Legal Aid Service (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister for that information. This is purely a follow up question to a discussion we had on this matter prior to the summer recess. There was agreement among everyone concerned that this scheme would be used. Am I to take it that an intern from JobBridge will be placed in every centre throughout the country at the end of this process? Will the board consider the making of...
- Prison Inspection Reports (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I endorse the Minister's remarks about Judge Reilly. Has the Minister performed a similar exercise with the Prison Service, as is under way with the Garda Commissioner, with regard to impending retirements? What will be the likely impact of those retirements on the service or on the Minister's plans for it?
- Crime Prevention (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I agree with the Minister on the Garda drug find. Considerable work is being done in this regard at local level. I welcome, in particular, the use of asset profiling. Is the Minister satisfied that legislation to assist the Garda in following up on this type of work is sufficiently strong and favours the Garda rather than those who are being profiled?
- Commercial Rents (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Question 61: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding the issue of upward only rent reviews on existing commercial leases; when we can expect a proposal from him; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24669/11]
- Commercial Rents (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Will the Minister provide a flavour of the outline proposals? I understand they have been discussed informally with some representative organisations of business, yet the Oireachtas has not had sight of them. Are the Minister and Attorney General singing from the same hymn sheet on this issue or are there differences of opinion between them, significant or otherwise? The question was...
- Commercial Rents (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: While the Minister may not sing hymns, he has some good broken records in his collection. Will he be required to consult the troika on the provisions of the Bill?
- Written Answers — Departmental Equipment: Departmental Equipment (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Question 91: To ask the Taoiseach the number of computer servers that are owned or leased by his Department and each State agency under the aegis of his Department; and the capacity of each server. [22495/11]
- Defence Forces Strength (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Question 1: To ask the Minister for Defence the current strength of each of the Defence Forces; if any reports have been prepared on potential retirement in each force between now and February 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25203/11]
- Defence Forces Strength (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I beg the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's indulgence to refer to another defence issue. I commend the Minister on the manner in which he swiftly acted and commissioned a report into the deaths of the Army personnel, Corporal Fintan Heneghan, Private Mannix Armstrong and Private Thomas Walsh. Information was provided to the Minister early in his term of office, and he commissioned a report and has...
- Naval Service Operations (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Question 3: To ask the Minister for Defence the number of fisheries related arrests and seizures carried out by the Irish Navy during 2009, 2010 and to date in 2011; if he will provide the figures by home country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25204/11]
- Naval Service Operations (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I praise the Naval Service for its work this summer and the number of rescues carried out at sea. I have a suspicion that the tabular information will feature one country in particular. This discussion arises from a discussion held in the House involving Deputy Harrington prior to the recess. Given that there were 1,100 operations and boardings to the end of this month and given the close...
- Naval Service Operations (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I presume the Minister is referring to fishing vessels not naval vessels.
- Overseas Missions (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: People may be genuinely surprised to realise there are 454 personnel serving in Lebanon. We should continue to publicise this fact and praise the work they have done there. I noticed in the local media during the summer that locally based soldiers were writing articles about their work in Lebanon and it struck me that we should increase awareness of this. The 454 personnel all came from...
- Defence Forces Recruitment (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: In terms of the Minister's plans for recruitment will he focus on any particular branch of the forces, such as the Army, navy or air corps?
- Defence Forces Review (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: We are not normally that shy.
- Overseas Missions (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Nothing gets past Deputy Naughten.
