Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund: Motion (5 Dec 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Like the other speakers, I am conscious that today's agenda is a marathon.

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: That is my current reading of the legislation. I will reflect on it again if there is a report to be written. I have two remaining points which I will make together. People can address them but I am not looking for a response. My view is that there needs to be more resourcing, especially for the Garda, to pursue people where there are significant breaches of bail. Numerous cases have...
