Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland, which was announced last week, contains many positive recommendations that would modernise policing in areas like civilianisation, human rights, training and community policing, which is a key point we have emphasised. However, some concern has been expressed about the proposal to do away with the Policing Authority and to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Thirty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Role of Women) Bill: Discussion (19 Sep 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I thank the Minister. On a similar note, I must say that some of the media commentary a few weeks ago and the contents of the Minister's statement today are based on a straw man argument. An argument has been built up in order to be dismissed but it is not an argument that anyone is, in fact, making. The Minister said that the issue of gender equality appeared to be pushed aside almost...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Thirty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Role of Women) Bill: Discussion (19 Sep 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I thank the witnesses from the various organisations for their attendance. Many of my questions already have been asked.

Obviously this is after a process or at least a process that has been advocated in terms of some form of constitutional convention. Let us say there is a referendum where I ask people to vote in favour, then one must consider what implication it will have for the Constitution. Symbolism is important but there seems to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Thirty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Role of Women) Bill: Discussion (19 Sep 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I will respond to that and ask one final question. I am sympathetic to what Mr. Conaty is saying, and I am in agreement with it. It is right that in addition to the framework and the legislation that should accompany it there should be some ability for compellability. It sounds to me as if we want to set some kind of minimum standard or floor for the supports that people who have a caring...
