Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: Tá ábhair níos tábhachtaí le teacht ach níl sé soiléir dom ón méid atá ráite ag an Aire conas nach mbeidh "An Garda Síochána", an teideal oifigiúil atá ar na gardaí, oiriúnach le dul isteach sa Bhille. Dúirt sé gur ceist stíle í. Stíl an Aire féin nó stíl na Ranna? Cén fáth nach bhfuil an teideal oifigiúil ar an fhórsa, "An Garda Síochána" úsáidte againne sa...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: Ba mhaith liom focal nó dhó a rá ar an ábhar seo. Ní aontaím leis an méid deireanach atá ráite ag an Aire. A significant amount of legislation is now introduced by means of secondary legislation. When I first became a Member of the House many moons ago, there was an all-party committee on secondary legislation. I think the courts have examined this matter. Enabling legislation that...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: I am grateful to the Minister because that is a sensible way to proceed. I accept the amendment, as crafted, is too broad and crude an instrument and would have implications I do not want. I should have re-read the Data Protection Acts but I am not aware of those provisions being used, even for serious offences. It may be interesting for the Minister to inquire whether the Garda routinely...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: I move amendment No. 9: In page 15, between lines 9 and 10, to insert the following: "5.—Notwithstanding any enactment, provision may be made by rules of court that a warrant issued by a judge of any Court for the arrest of a person shall continue in force until executed or cancelled by the judge or another judge.". This amendment was also discussed on Committee Stage. I re-tabled it...

Brendan Howlin: I apologise for having been distracted during the Minister's speech. I was practising on the new gizmos that we are supposed to be experts in.

Criminal Law (Home Defence) Bill 2006: Second Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: It was a distraction from the Minister's contribution. Public safety and security in the home are real and important issues for people up and down the country. It is hard to take some of the Minister's comments when he pours scorn on my colleague, the Fine Gael spokesman on justice. It would be impossible to find somebody cruder or rougher on criminal justice matters than the Minister. I...
