Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I can be critical of gardaí but I always like to take the opportunity to commend the good work they do and commendation is due to them for the significant seizures in recent days and I acknowledge this. On numerous occasions I have gone on the Dáil record as a big advocate of the youth diversion programme. It does excellent work and I would like to see it expanded with more...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Mr. Bob Collins made a major statement at the Policing Authority meeting when he said that in the three years of the Policing Authority this was the most serious issue that had arisen. That is a significant statement and it is very likely appropriate and correct. It is unacceptable that almost 8,000 reported crimes committed by 3,500 children and young people were not properly dealt with....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: It is important this is known because if it was the case, and it may not be the case, that they accepted responsibility for that individual behaviour, it raises the possibility that victims in these 55 cases came forward to the Garda complaining of a sexual assault, rape or violent assault and the young person in question accepted he or she had responsibility for it but nothing was done. If...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: It is right, and I am glad to hear the Commissioner indicate, that he will work with the DPP to resurrect and continue to pursue cases. That is important, particularly with regard to those 55 very serious offences. While I understand the programme and principles behind it, there must be accountability and justice in those cases. There has been speculation in the media that cases...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

At the previous meeting, the Commissioner indicated he would be willing to meet the Justice for the Forgotten group and Mr. Stephen Travers. Has that meeting taken place?

He said the Garda would be more assertive in dealing with such cases to prevent public order issues from arising. Does An Garda Síochána need to be more assertive with those occupying the property or with those who are acting on behalf of...
