Charitable Trusts. (26 Oct 2005)

Dan Boyle: Will the report be made public because much information has been made public regarding the need for a law but there has been no sign of the law itself? In October 2003, we were informed that the charities (regulation) Bill would come before the House in the final quarter of that year. In January 2002, it was promised for October 2003. In May 2003, it was promised for late 2004. The dates...

Lisbon National Reform Programme: Statements (Resumed). (25 Oct 2005)

Dan Boyle: I wish to share time with Deputy Ó Snodaigh. The Lisbon Agenda, as first articulated at the original Lisbon summit, consisted of just two pillars, a knowledge-based economy and the need for social inclusion. The third pillar, added as an afterthought, possibly after the end of the Portuguese EU Presidency, was that of sustainable development. When we discuss that issue, it is usually thought...

Order of Business. (25 Oct 2005)

I also want to express our concern on No. 11, which will allow the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to appoint three additional people to the committee. I appreciate he is restricted to three positions but of those nominations, recognition is given to only two Opposition spokespersons on...

Statute Law Revision (Pre-1922) Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (20 Oct 2005)

Dan Boyle: This legislative pruning is necessary and will not be opposed by the Green Party. While we have the opportunity to debate the Bill, we should at least take that opportunity to examine what we are consigning to history. Among the legislation we bid adieu to once this Bill is passed is that which deals with the Magna Carta and the Habeas Corpus Act 1679. I can only presume that Irish common law...

Statute Law Revision (Pre-1922) Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (20 Oct 2005)

Dan Boyle: I would not be surprised with any idea he comes up with. Not only is the language content of these Bills offensive to modern vernacular, but the titles of some of them are also quite surprising. The Inferior Courts Officers Act 1858 applies to Ireland, but that is no way to refer to the Judiciary, although there are Members in this House who would be tempted to use that type of language....
