Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Courts and Courthouses: Discussion (28 Sep 2021)

Pa Daly: Would Ms Denning look at it again, given the recommendations and the change of emphasis as regards town centres and spatial strategies? Before any decision is taken which may detrimentally affect the town centre, would she consider sending a grade 1 conservation architect to have a look at it to see what can be done? As Ms Denning has probably seen, there is a great deal of wasted space in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Courts and Courthouses: Discussion (28 Sep 2021)

Pa Daly: It is anticipated that most normality in indoor settings as regards Covid will be returning on 22 October. There is concern in Tralee, and some people think that court services are being almost deliberately run down. All the jury trials will be moved to Limerick for five weeks from 15 November. Given that the restrictions will be more or less removed, would the Courts Service consider...

Day procedures have been cancelled for the third week running, the hospital is short 100 nurses, orthopaedic services have been outsourced and ambulances are queuing up because the patients they are offloading are not being taken into the accident and emergency department. A scanning machine in the hospital can be used by only...

Residential Tenancies (Tenants' Rights) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Sep 2021)

Pa Daly: I wish to register my support for the Bill and commend the Labour Party on bringing it forward.

I welcome in particular the provisions of the Bill relating to security and...

Pa Daly: Mr. Roberts is very welcome agus cuirim fáilte roimhe. Croeso i'r pwyllgor, if I am pronouncing that correctly. I have been very encouraged by what he has said regarding dealing with public bodies and so on. He has covered some of this already but how challenging or realistic is the target of having 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050? What resistance to the Welsh language standards has...

EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement: Motion (21 Sep 2021)

Pa Daly: This interim measure to approve the sharing of data is a topic on which many people will have mixed feelings.

The sharing of data as part of the Prüm Convention may not be as high profile as other issues but it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Pa Daly: This for the Department. It is difficult to make too much comment because there seems to be wide discretion as to how it will be operated and wide circumstances in which it will be used. I have three questions. I apologise if this has been dealt with as I was in the Chamber. When does the Department anticipate that the code of practice will be available? On the recording of the devices...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

It is important that there would be very up-to-date recording machinery. On the first question, does the...
