Seán Fleming: The Department is a long way back from having this cracked. Mr. Doyle has said it is two years away but it was mentioned in the 2015 annual report. Is it the Courts Service or the Department that is dragging its feet?

Seán Fleming: We require the minutes or records of the meetings of that project team and how it has progressed since 2015. It was referenced in the 2015 account. Mr. Doyle tells me today that it is two years away but he has not convinced me that anything substantial has happened in the mean time. He told me there is a project team and although I am sure the principal officer is an outstanding...

Seán Fleming: We will write directly to the NTA, which is the licensing authority, to get the exact answer. It is a separate body. It can answer this question. I ask Deputy Cullinane to give way because I want to bring in two more Deputies before the scheduled vote in the Dáil.

Topical Issue Debate: Criminal Prosecutions (22 Feb 2017)

Seán Fleming: I acknowledge the response from the Minister of State, which does not deal with the issue at all. I was very careful with my language when I spoke today in saying that the post-mortem examination indicated that this person was killed by a single stab wound to the chest. In view of the fact that the defence of the family dwelling legislation had never been used as a defence, the Oireachtas -...
