Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (31 May 2018)

Clare Daly: This illustrates once again the many problems with the Bill. Amendment No. 87 seeks to restore to the Bill the provision that the most senior judicial appointments, that of the Chief Justice, the President of the High Court and the President of the Court of Appeal are not made by the commission but by a tiny conclave of the Chief Justice, Attorney General and the chairperson of the...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (31 May 2018)

Clare Daly: There are very serious amendments under consideration here and there are some attempts to row back on some of the important improvements made to the Bill on Committee Stage, which is regrettable. Other amendments are just a matter of tidying up, and we agree with a chunk of stuff. With the big ones, however, why go to all the trouble of setting up a commission, giving it the power, and then...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (31 May 2018)

Clare Daly: There are a lot of things going. In half of them what the Government is trying to do is undo the changes brought forward at the select committee. Amendment No. 75 in our name and that of the Government does the same thing but for very different reasons. In the Government's case, it is being brought forward to preserve the special procedure involving the Chief Justice, the Attorney General...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (31 May 2018)

Clare Daly: I think it is a good amendment. We must put it in the context of what we are trying to achieve here. One of the fundamental aims is that we would have a more diverse Judiciary. We do not want a replication of what was there previously, albeit appointed in a different way. We want those appointed judges to have a knowledge of the law. In that sense, it is eminently sensible that those...

[23902/18]

Other Questions: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (31 May 2018)

Clare Daly: As the Minister knows, Ireland is on target to be hit with substantial fines in a year or two as a result of being so far off our 2020 CO2emissions target. It is not really about the fines; that is a bit of a sideshow. We are in this position because we have no serious policy to address these issues. We have a number of measures, but they are not the be all and end all. A number of items...

Other Questions: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (31 May 2018)

Clare Daly: The Minister used the word "disappointing". That is a bit of an understatement. It is a catastrophic failure. It is absolutely shocking that we are so far off our emissions targets. It is not about massaging the figures, buying a little time, buying a few allowances here and there and all the rest. It indicates that we are well off course, particularly in the sectors mentioned by the...

Other Questions: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (31 May 2018)

Clare Daly: We are working to have Report Stage of the Bill taken before the recess and there is a will to do so. I appreciate that the Minister has acknowledged plainly - he could not do otherwise - that we will not just miss the 2020 targets but also the 2030 targets. The planet will probably have exploded by 2050. While there is honesty in the Minister's admission, there is no consequential impact...
