Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Report Stage (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 2:In page 11, line 23, to delete “may, with” and substitute “shall, subject to”.

Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Report Stage (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 3:In page 12, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following:“(8) Where, pursuant to an initial review or a review under subsection (3), the Minister is of the opinion that an alternative index would not be more suitable for the purpose of the annual adjustment of the amount of payments provided for under periodic payments orders, he or she shall cause to be laid...

Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Report Stage (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: I do not think it is a big deal. The Minister of State has zoned in on the reasons only being required if the index is not being changed, but one could also provide a statement on the reasons it was being changed. That is not a stumbling block for the acceptance of the amendment which we put forward in the context of there being huge concern about the issue. Many people are considering the...

Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Report Stage (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: As I said to the Minister of State, if that was the stumbling point of the amendment, it could have been amended to require the provision of reasons whether the index was being upheld or amended. It is not a decisive point. It is about accountability and overcoming the suspicion aroused by a method being chosen that experts said was not the best option. One has to assume, if the experts...

Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Report Stage (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: I wish to raise a brief point on that amendment because it seeks to provides that appeals from the High Court about periodic payment orders, PPOs, by a recipient could be made on grounds other than a point of law. It is remarkable that the Bill, as drafted, permits an appeal to the Court of Appeal against a court decision to direct payment of damages by way of a PPO only on a point of law....

Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Report Stage (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: It is important to record that the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality took a decision to divide its resources today between the committee and this discussion in the Chamber. As such, the different groups have sent half their representations here for this debate. It is a bit regrettable. While amendments Nos. 1 and 2 are not grouped, I would like, with the indulgence of the Chair,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: Someone is trying to get Deputy Wallace to shut up but I urge him to keep going.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: Fair enough.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: We cannot continue with the alarm ringing.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: We are in the early stages of many aspects of the issue but any retention of data entails a lot of scope for violation of human rights, privacy rights and so on. In that context, we have to proceed with caution and be very attentive to the opinions of human rights bodies in the State and across Europe. As the witnesses said, journalists are afforded a certain amount of privilege and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: The difficulty for most people is that expertise is not there. Who would select the panel? How is that decided? Who appoints them? Where is the input on that issue? I appreciate the witnesses have half dealt with the issue. It will be a problematic area. As regards judicial oversight and adopting the model of some of the procedures under the Interception of Postal Packets and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: There is a specific question on the urgency issue. Is that going to be more clearly defined, in the context of judicial oversight not being required?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: Obviously that sounds reasonable. I would get some further comfort from a definition for urgency but we can come back to that issue later.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: At the start of it. There will be some heavy parts. For the first couple of amendments, Deputy Wallace can stay here and I can handle them. I do not know whether any of the other Deputies will be there. They would not need to be. It would be remiss of us not to conclude this meeting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Clare Daly: I know. Would other members be okay with that?
