Lynn Ruane: I echo everything that Senator Higgins has said. Under the 2002 EU directive, the facilitator of entry and transit does not need to have obtained any financial benefit from smuggling in order for it to be considered a crime. However, Article 6.1 of the protocol requires that the act be for financial gain or other material benefit. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has gone...

Lynn Ruane: I welcome back the Minister of State. I will be brief on these amendments. We covered them a lot on the previous Stage of the Bill. They go back to the recommendation IHREC made.We spoke a great deal in the last session about the journey of a smuggled person and people obviously do not take that journey very lightly. The Journalreported a number of weeks ago that on 18 July people were...

Lynn Ruane: The most basic entitlement that people deserve and which this Bill seeks to protect is to be treated with respect and dignity. This starts with the training of the people who will be the first responders to anybody who enters this country.

Has the Commissioner any concerns about head 30 and how the written directives from...

Lynn Ruane: I thank Mr. Harris. He spoke a little about the accountability structures and who he is accountable to. Has he any concerns about the confusion within those accountability structures in some parts of the Bill and how that might affect his work? I am thinking of heads 11, 23 and 28, which all state the Commissioner is not accountable to the board whereas head 25 states he or she is. Does...

Lynn Ruane: I thank Mr. Collins. I have a question for the ICCL. It relates to the provisions on prosecution by An Garda Síochána. The Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland's recommended that the Garda should not have a role in prosecution. What does the ICCL feel are the implications of this?
