[5309/05]

Garda Equipment. (16 Feb 2005)

Jim O'Keeffe: Does the Minister accept we should provide cutting edge technology to the Garda Síochána and that PULSE does not qualify? This technology must be out of date because it goes back to the early 1990s. It is unsatisfactory, nonetheless, that it is installed in only 25% of Garda stations. Does the Minister not accept that a situation whereby some gardaí must travel ten or 15 miles to a Garda...

Garda Equipment. (16 Feb 2005)

Jim O'Keeffe: Does the Minister not accept that as a matter of priority he must provide the resources to upgrade the system? He must provide the resources to extend it nationwide to the 75% of stations that do not have it. He must provide resources to have a better way of inputting the statistics, such as palmtops for the Garda Síochána, rather than having gardaí making round trips of 20 to 30 miles to...

Prisoner Complaints Procedures. (16 Feb 2005)

Jim O'Keeffe: To provide us with an idea of the extent of the problem within the prison system, will the Minister indicate the total number of cells under his domain and the number which do not have in-cell sanitation? Will he also indicate the amount of the award given by the European Court of Human Rights in the relevant Scottish case, to give the House an idea of the potential bill with which we might...

Courts Service. (16 Feb 2005)

Jim O'Keeffe: As long as subversive groups which do not accept the rule of law operate on this island, we will continue to need the Special Criminal Court. History shows they are quite prepared to intimidate not just witnesses but also jurors. In that situation, the ordinary system cannot apply. We all want to see an end to the Special Criminal Court, but that will only happen when we see an end to...

Sexual Offences. (16 Feb 2005)

Jim O'Keeffe: Does the Minister accept that we should set aside playing around with figures and statistics? He quotes figures showing a reduction last year, when there was an increase of 27% in aggravated sexual assaults, but I am not interested in that. We have a serious problem, and I would like the Minister to confront the facts. In the last full year, 2003-04, 1,460 cases of sexual assault or...

Sexual Offences. (16 Feb 2005)
