Reform of An Garda Síochána: Motion [Private Members] (11 Apr 2017)

Jonathan O'Brien: I need to reference the fact that we in Sinn Féin believe Fianna Fáil's motion should have been ruled out of order. We wrote to the Ceann Comhairle about the matter. We fully respect the decision taken by him that, in his opinion, it was not contradictory to what we had scheduled for debate tomorrow night. Even though we made the complaint, we fully respect his ruling, even if we...

Statute of Limitations (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Apr 2017)

Jonathan O'Brien: I will be brief because, unfortunately, I have approximately 700 pages of a report to read when I go back to the office. It is kind of ironic that I will be going from one justice issue to another one. We will be supporting this Bill for a number of reasons. In fairness to Deputy Mick Wallace, he has been very honest in his opening contribution and said that there have been changes...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Bail (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (5 Apr 2017)

Jonathan O'Brien: I seek some clarification on this amendment. Currently, there is a common law presumption of a duty of care. If it is the opinion of the garda in charge of a station that individuals would be a danger to themselves or to other members of the public if released, they can be held. Is there a time limit on that at present? We are proposing to insert a time limit but does one exist at the moment?

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Bail (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (5 Apr 2017)

Jonathan O'Brien: I am not in favour of holding anyone longer than they need to be held but I refer again to the six hours. This is my opinion, just as it will be the opinion of the garda in charge of the station. I do not know how long it would take someone who is intoxicated to the point where they are a danger to themselves or anyone else to sober up. I do not drink so I do not know how long it takes for...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Bail (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (5 Apr 2017)

Jonathan O'Brien: -----my only concern is that we are not putting on a statutory footing that someone cannot be held longer than six hours so if they were still a danger to themselves after six hours, there is an obligation for them to be released. I am concerned about that because if somebody is still a danger to themselves after six hours, they can continue to be held until such time they are no longer a...
