Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements by Committee Members on Recommendations oif Citizens' Assembly (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I thank the Chairman and the experts who came before the committee. It is important to say that experts in the fields of medicine, legal studies and so on volunteered their time. Many travelled long distances and their testimony was invaluable and overwhelming. I will not repeat it but will make a few points on where we go from here and what I think our job was. We were here not just to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements by Committee Members on Recommendations oif Citizens' Assembly (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: It is a case of how we take it forward. Many inaccurate points were made during the course of the discussions as well. Some of them have been made repeatedly and of late. We should remind ourselves that in 1983 when the amendment was brought in, abortion was already illegal in Ireland and it was put forward as a mechanism which would stop Irish abortions but all it meant was that Irish...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: The Deputy is talking down the clock.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I thank Ms McPhillips for coming in. My head is probably mush at this stage, so if I repeat things, it is just that I do not get it and am not clear on something. Ms McPhillips has been at pains to point out that the Department of Justice and Equality is a huge organisation. It obviously is but we are not talking about people in the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, INIS, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: In that sense, a trawl or unearthing documentation is not a matter of unearthing it from thousands of people. It would have been reasonable, in the context of the terms of reference, for the senior officials involved in policing, advising the Minister and so on, to have their emails trawled to comply with the discovery order of Mr. Justice Charleton.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I am trying to get my head around that. Is that a list of requested documents or is it a list of items that may be relevant? Is it a definitive list or what is it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: So it is the fault of Mr. Justice Charleton for not outlining clearly enough what he wanted?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I am not being pedantic. Earlier, there seemed to be a suggestion that Ms McPhillips thought some of what turned up later was not actually relevant to the terms of reference. It seemed to indicate that the Department had a certain scope in deciding what may or may not be relevant.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: The witnesses seemed to say earlier that they did not think the terms of reference were relevant to some of these items when their Minister in the Oireachtas had set up a tribunal to investigate a number of issues. The document is clearly relevant under the terms of reference in a number of cases. Part C of the terms of reference includes the knowledge of the present and former Garda...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I find the judgment of the senior Department of Justice and Equality officials who were recipients of that email and had clear knowledge of the terms of reference of the tribunal shocking. It was in their own email accounts and they did not think that it was relevant to hand this over. If anything, Ms McPhillips's defence is poor judgment more than anything else.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I do not. If the Department of Justice and Equality had just lost a former Minister and Garda Commissioner over the treatment of a whistleblower, a commission of investigation was under way into the allegations of that whistleblower and it came to light that the Garda Commissioner was involved in a strategy to undermine that whistleblower, someone at the top of the Department of Justice and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality (6 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: What email client is used by senior officials in the Department of Justice and Equality? Is it Lotus Notes 8.5, Microsoft Exchange Server, or what is it?
