Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: I am asking specifically about those.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Is it felt that by specially mentioning the items listed, there is a danger? Why not just leave it? This is going to be dealt with in pre-trial hearings. Is this not the intention?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: There is no fear of tying hands?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Okay. RCNI's opening statement refers to a young man of 13 or 14 and Dr. Saidléar used the word "boy". This is defined differently under the Children Act 2001. The RCNI's argument is that with regard to a young man of 13 or 14, the new head 3 will mention that physical, mental or intellectual disability, mental illness and his age and maturity can be taken into account. Also, section...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Okay. In the prosecution for an offence which carries a life sentence, the RCNI's argument, and it is not specified here, is that it is relying on someone in the DPP's office to be able to make this decision.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Yes, but specific mention was made of what are called "young men of 13 and 14". I am slightly concerned about this in the context of such a serious offence.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: I ask Dr. Saidléar to comment regarding the definition of "mental capacity".

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: The RCNI is saying this should be ruled out completely for 13- and 14-year-olds.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Vóta 33 - Roinn Turasóireachta, Cultúir, Ealaíon, Gaeltachta, Spóirt agus na Meán (1 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Mar gheall ar C7, níl ach €250,000 breise molta don údarás. Tá sé soiléir go bhfuil an cóimheas idir an t-údarás agus IDA agus Fiontar Éireann, agus an cóimheas idir Foras na Gaeilge agus an Chomhairle Ealaíon imithe in olcas. Cén fáth nach bhfuil ach an méid sin ag dul go dtí an t-údarás? Cad...

Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: Tá eolas agam ar an sárobair a dhéanann na craoltóirí agus na hiriseoirí i Raidió na Gaeltachta, mar shampla. Chualamar cheana féin faoi na stáisiúin ar fud na tíre. Beimid ag lorg vótála ar an leasú seo.

Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: Baineann an leasú seo le cearta teanga, cearta oibtithe agus cearta comhionnanais. We have outlined on Committee Stage how RTÉ is paying Irish language workers up to 25% less for the same work as their English-speaking counterparts. This is discrimination, pure and simple, and it is unacceptable. We have a chance to enshrine equal pay for equal work in the law. It has been done...
