Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: Tá ábhair níos tábhachtaí le teacht ach níl sé soiléir dom ón méid atá ráite ag an Aire conas nach mbeidh "An Garda Síochána", an teideal oifigiúil atá ar na gardaí, oiriúnach le dul isteach sa Bhille. Dúirt sé gur ceist stíle í. Stíl an Aire féin nó stíl na Ranna? Cén fáth nach bhfuil an teideal oifigiúil ar an fhórsa, "An Garda Síochána" úsáidte againne sa...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: Ba mhaith liom focal nó dhó a rá ar an ábhar seo. Ní aontaím leis an méid deireanach atá ráite ag an Aire. A significant amount of legislation is now introduced by means of secondary legislation. When I first became a Member of the House many moons ago, there was an all-party committee on secondary legislation. I think the courts have examined this matter. Enabling legislation that...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: I am grateful to the Minister because that is a sensible way to proceed. I accept the amendment, as crafted, is too broad and crude an instrument and would have implications I do not want. I should have re-read the Data Protection Acts but I am not aware of those provisions being used, even for serious offences. It may be interesting for the Minister to inquire whether the Garda routinely...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: I move amendment No. 1: In page 13, line 5, to delete "POWERS" and substitute "FUNCTIONS". This is an amendment to the longest Long Title of a Bill I have seen in my time in the House, which is an indication of the amalgam of legislation that this Bill has become. It has grown like Topsy. Unfortunately, a great deal of that growth occurred on Committee Stage and much of the meat of the Bill...

Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Report Stage. (27 Jun 2006)

Brendan Howlin: Having listened to Deputy Ó Snodaigh, I wish to put the record straight. If one looks at Part 13 and section 159 in particular, it is not a draconian measure for children. I have discussed it with a number of groups and have gone thorough it in detail. People were wound up about its consequences but their fears were allayed when they were taken through the measure step by step. It is not...
