Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: I will deal with the matters raised in reverse order. Deputy Mattie McGrath raised an important point. I draw his attention to amendment No. 18 which deals with offences. If a mobile phone company fails to comply with a direction issued to it, the individuals responsible will be liable to criminal prosecution. That is a very specific power. I will not respond at any great length to what...

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: Technically, my understanding is that it would be very unusual for such an action to affect the entire country. Theoretically, if the entire country were under threat, then it would be possible. The reality, as happened in Boston recently, is that an area may be identified as having a threat and coverage would be shut down there. It would be highly unlikely that such an event would apply...

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: There you go again. The Bill is very clear. It is about the protection of life. It is not, as the Deputy is suggesting, about preventing peaceful demonstrations. Not all the demonstrations we have seen occur at G8 meetings have been peaceful. I have absolutely no doubt that in the context of those demonstrations many people participated in good faith with peaceful intent. They had...

As discussed...

Alan Shatter: As I was saying, it shall specify a maximum duration of six hours for any cessation period. The authorisation may contain other terms and conditions considered necessary in the circumstances. In reply to a query tDeputy Mattie McGrath raised earlier, the period is 24 hours. The initial direction can be for six hours at any time within the 24 hours and if the chief superintendent reaches a...

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: That is during the 24 hour period and it cannot go beyond 24 hours. In a practical reflection of the fact that not all circumstances are foreseeable, amendment No. 12 proposes that section 18 provide for an authorisation to be varied or extended. Amendment No. 12 proposes that section 18 provide for an authorisation to be varied or extended. However, this is subject to all of the same...

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Instruction to Committee (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: Individuals who wish to demonstrate peacefully are absolutely entitled to demonstrate peacefully. We also, though, have a duty to ensure on the whole island of Ireland that if some terrorist group or individuals with extreme political ideology decide they want to launch an attack on world leaders attending the G8 meeting that we have the capacity to deal with issues that could arise. I...

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Instruction to Committee (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: To come back to the legislation, this is about facilitating this matter being dealt with and discussed to revert into formal Committee Stage in the House. This has been done on various occasions by different Governments dealing with legislation. It allows a more extended discussion of the proposed amendments which are, as I say, of importance. I also want to thank Deputy Mattie McGrath...

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Instruction to Committee (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: There is a certain irony in Deputy McGrath criticising me when it is his perception that there is some dispute going on between me and the gardaí generally, as opposed to an issue between the Garda representative bodies and the Government. When I am supportive of the gardaí, there is a concerted attempt made to undermine public confidence in the gardaí by a very small group of...
