Criminal Justice (Public Order) (Quadbikes and Scramblers) (Amendment) Bill 2021: First Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Jack Chambers: I welcome the Bill from the two Deputies, but for clarity, Deputy Paul Donnelly said that the matter of scramblers was not referenced in the Government's legislative programme; it is.

We will work with the other parties on...

Sporting activity, including the playing of golf, is not...

Jack Chambers: Tá an ceart ag an Teachta Ó Cuív maidir le leasú Uimh. 1. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Ó Snodaigh as ucht an leasú seo ach creidim nach bhfuil gá leis sa Bhille seo de bharr go bhfuil sé sonraithe sa phríomh-Acht. Ar an mbonn sin, ní féidir liom glacadh leis an leasú.

Jack Chambers: Aithním an obair atá curtha isteach sna leasuithe seo ag na Teachtaí. Mar is eol dóibh, ní raibh aon ról agamsa mar Aire Stáit sa chinneadh iad a chur as an áireamh. Níl mé chun aon rud a rá fúthu go dtí go mbeidh soiléiriú faighte ag an gcoiste ina leith.
