Autism Spectrum Disorder Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister of State for her interest in this area. Last Friday, I met a women in north Kerry. Her son is four years old and has a rare chromosome deficiency, Kleefstra syndrome, which causes him to have difficulties communicating. I met him too and he has problems with his gait and needs early intervention now. He is not getting services. Time and again, over the past few weeks...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: I have one or two questions for Ms Ansbro to start. One of the ICCL's recommendations is to remove all prosecutorial powers from An Garda Síochána.

Does the ICCL mean all the way down to the District Court, that is, that all District Court offences would be prosecuted by, say,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: I have two or three questions for Commissioner Harris. I have heard what he said. I think it was Mr. Collins who referred to the Commissioner's experience in another jurisdiction, namely, the North. What can we learn from policing oversight in the Six Counties? Did Commissioner Harris notice a difference in the culture or in prosecuting? Does he think the ICCL's suggestion to remove all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: I asked about the difference in the culture between the North and this jurisdiction. Commissioner Harris mentioned in his opening statement investigations by GSOC going on for years without any obligation to inform Garda employees. It is kind of similar to some of the debate that has come from the mid-west area recently in that investigations are going along for a long time. Given some of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: I have a final question for the Garda Inspectorate. On the replacement for GSOC and giving it more powers to conduct investigations into Garda personnel, the Garda Commissioner expressed concerns about possible breaches of human rights that could be disproportionate, unconstitutional and unable to withstand a test in the courts. What is the inspectorate's view on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: I have one question for Mr. Toland regarding what he said about the inspection function within the proposed policing and community safety authority. He said that "it should be set out in legislation". He also said that it was important to ensure that all required information and documents be provided in that context and that the conditions do "not appear to be sufficiently strong" in...

Access of Competent Authorities to Centralised Bank Account Registries: Motion (19 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: This is the latest in a series of motions we have had to consider regarding international co-operation to fight organised crime. Given the fact that criminal gangs are, like most enterprises, becoming larger, more sophisticated and increasingly transnational, the response to them must also advance in the same respect. Accordingly, I am happy to speak in favour of the motion. There...
