We may be in danger of overcomplicating it. While these issues are incredibly emotional and personal to people and I am very sorry for the loss of the witnesses and the tragic circumstances, we cannot respond emotionally to these things....

Clare Daly: To any of the speakers. Every case is different and people can be convicted of manslaughter. Are we saying that the battered wife loses her house and everything else?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017 (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: That is a good summary. It would be helpful but I do not think it is a panacea for many of the problems that are there. I want to refer to some of the technical points. When would the joint tenancy be severed? Is it severed as soon as somebody is charged with the offence or when they are convicted? What is the threshold for when that happens?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017 (27 Mar 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017 (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I would put it to Mr. Byrne that it is not. It has happened because the people were connected legally and there is a joint ownership.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017 (27 Mar 2019)
