Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Engagement with Ms Justice Mary Laffoy, Citizens' Assembly (20 Sep 2017)

Clare Daly: I have read all the documents and I did not see that legal uncertainty coming from anywhere except one view, which was perhaps slightly exaggerated. I am asking if there is a precedent for that anywhere else. I do not see any uncertainty. Normally, the Oireachtas legislates if it is not in the Constitution. It seemed to be taking things a bit far.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Child Protection Audit: Dr. Geoffrey Shannon (20 Sep 2017)

Clare Daly: I thank Dr. Shannon for attending the meeting. We should contextualise this. We are still dealing with the scars of the past in terms of how we dealt with children and the lack of child protection.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Child Protection Audit: Dr. Geoffrey Shannon (20 Sep 2017)

Clare Daly: People often say, "I have never seen anything like that", but we have really seen nothing like this report, in Ireland or the world. It would be criminally negligent if its recommendations were not implemented. Dr. Shannon's statement that he would not have been able to do this by relying on the data in PULSE alone is utterly damning and sums up the systemic problems we have seen in other...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Child Protection Audit: Dr. Geoffrey Shannon (20 Sep 2017)

Clare Daly: I will come to it in a minute. If we cannot ask the Garda representatives about this matter, could we write to them to ask questions? We spoke about co-location and the fact that the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Katherine Zappone, is moving but a number of the suggestions for PULSE could have been brought in in January, such as laminated cards, risk principles, guidelines...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Child Protection Audit: Dr. Geoffrey Shannon (20 Sep 2017)

Clare Daly: There has been no contact from it in the six or seven months since then. I think that is absolutely shocking. I cannot believe it. When the Policing Authority comes before us next week, it will be one of the first things we will deal with. This is supposed to be what they are for. This is child protection, which is at least as important as breath testing.
