Criminal Justice (International Co-operation) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (11 Jul 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Ultimately, it would be just a report and I do not accept it would be problematic. The value would be partially subjective. It would be for the Garda Commissioner or Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission to provide an evaluation that states what either considers to be the value of the agreement, either for the Garda or GSOC or for the corresponding jurisdiction. That is the purpose...

Criminal Justice (International Co-operation) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (11 Jul 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: To a large extent I agree with what Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan said about inadequate procedures for victims in the South.

I hope that any legislation that would exist in the North - we would argue for it likewise - and the British legislation...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I support the amendment but will await the Minister of State's response on community not-for-profit education.
