Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: I was not a member of this committee in April 2019. We had the same Chair and some other members were on this committee then. When AIB was before the committee at that stage, it consistently denied that the 6,000 prevailing rate customers were entitled to tracker mortgages. They were simply deemed not to be impacted and there was a simple admission of a service failure. Has AIB's view...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Policies (5 Jul 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: A conviction for a serious criminal offence is a very public event. If a person is convicted of murder, manslaughter or rape, they will be tried in public and the conviction will be announced in public. However, the public is dependent of a member of the press being in court in order to become aware of it. Taking into account Article 10 of the general data protection regulation, GDPR, has...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Policies (5 Jul 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: I do not suggest a register of persons convicted of minor or summary offences, or for other than violent criminal offences. What I suggest arises from the fact that I, like the Minister, recently met Jason Poole, whose sister Jennifer was brutally murdered a year ago by a man who had a conviction for stabbing another partner of his. The point Jason Poole made to me and many others was that,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Policies (5 Jul 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: It is interesting that whether a conviction is publicised depends, completely arbitrarily, on whether a member of the media is in court. A person could be convicted of rape in Dublin one day with huge media attention around it, while on another day there might not be that much media attention. It is unreliable to have a system whereby we are dependent upon members of the press being in...

Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998: Motion (29 Jun 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: Although this annual debate can be repetitive, it is important. Unfortunately, it sometimes becomes completely focused on the Special Criminal Court. As Members will be aware, there is more to these resolutions than simply matters to do with that court.
