Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement with European Ombudsman (14 Feb 2018)

Colm Brophy: Some of my points have been raised already, so I will not go over them again. I would like to tease one point out further. There is a fundamental difference between a sovereign state and a national parliament legislating in a particular way. The European Union, which is a confederation of national states, is engaging in the legislative process that it has put together. I welcome a lot of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Colm Brophy: I will be brief as well, Chair. I express my sympathies to the Fox family and the members of An Garda Síochána on the death of Detective Superintendent Colm Fox. There is a limited amount I am going to go into here because a lot has been gone through, in some very good detail, by my colleagues. Some of what I have to say are just observations, having listened to the debate...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Colm Brophy: Dr. Singh asked for the report on two occasions prior to the original meeting with the Policing Authority, namely, just beforehand and approximately a week and a half beforehand. Am I correct in understanding that from what he said?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Colm Brophy: In asking for that information, was Dr. Singh effectively flagging up to people that he wanted an input into the report? He had people on the working group, did he not, so he was effectively involved in a process in making an input? Unless I am being completely illogical, it seems that the process of Dr. Singh asking for the report was to make sure that he could have an input into it. He...

I am fascinated to know why, even at that point, it took a week and a half - I am correct on that, as that is what Dr. Singh said-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (14 Feb 2018)

Colm Brophy: Why was it not possible in Dr. Singh's opinion for him to be handed that report - I am sure it was available electronically and could have been sent in an email or by the process of even a hard copy - by the end of that working day?

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (14 Feb 2018)

Colm Brophy: I welcome the Bill. I wish to acknowledge that Deputy Kelly has produced a very good piece of legislation. From my perspective, there are two aspects on which I would like to comment. The first is the issue of tours. I can understand the reservations being expressed about it and they are fair. At the end of the day, if one takes out the tour element, one effectively transfers this from...
