Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Direct Provision System (5 Jul 2018)

I commend the Immigrant Council of Ireland, the Migrant Rights Council, Nasc, the Irish Immigrant...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Direct Provision System (5 Jul 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: That is all very well from here on but I am referring specifically to a category of people who have not already received a speedy decision. They have already been living in Ireland for a period of years and they will still not have the right to work. That is significant. The other point is that a lack of a right to work, and we must not lose sight of this, was a denial of the dignity of...

Bail (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Jun 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: It is right and proper, like other Deputies have said, that we reflect on the context. The crime statistics released this afternoon do not make for positive or encouraging reading. There are significant increases across a number of heads. The first three months of the year saw close to 19,000 burglaries and 70,000 thefts. Those are staggering figures. There was a 15.9% increase in fraud,...
