Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Business of Joint Committee
Engagement with WAVE Trauma Centre (9 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I want to follow on from what my colleague has said. When it comes to debates about nationalist victims, Ireland's future or Border polls, Sinn Féin members are here in force. They are organised, professional, they have their questions ready with the order of speakers and they fill both slots. Sinn Féin has two slots whereas the rest of us might get a second slot if time comes...

Engagement with WAVE Trauma Centre (9 Dec 2021)

I will not go further than that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2021 (8 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree with my colleagues on head 42. The point was well made, so I do no need to make it again. On a point to Mr. Sunderland, I thought the piece on behalf of the Data Protection Commissioner is an excellent technical piece. It contributes enormously to the proposed Bill. If he does not mind, I will not ask him in great detail about it on this occasion. Nonetheless, I wonder how this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2021 (8 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Did Ms Sheppard want to come in?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2021 (8 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That was how I had read it. Head 42 has been the subject of some discussion today. Would the Department like to offer a view as to what, from its perspective, this provision brings to the proposed Bill?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2021 (8 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Can the Department go into more detail on that? It seems to speak to the point about being unruly or disruptive. Where is this coming from? In fairness, in the context of the discussion we have had, the Department might want to provide more detail on what the thinking has been behind that. Is this a common feature? Where is this coming from?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2021 (8 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I appreciate that. That is the benefit of having Ms Woods at the committee and able to respond to questions like that rather than us talking around in circles in regard to it. Although I am sure it will be doing it anyway, I suggest to the Department to discuss with the criminal committee from the Law Society and the Bar the operation of that. Did Mr Collins want to come in?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2021 (8 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I was just wondering about the duplication of work by the Department and the committee, and the timing of when that is fed in. That is fine. I want to ask Mr. Collins two questions. We have covered head 42 in great detail. On head 43, and subsection (4) in particular, I want to get Mr. Collins's view generally on whether juveniles can be questioned without representation and whether the...
