Seanad: Order of Business (4 Nov 2015)

Ivana Bacik: In particular, we heard yesterday an announcement of a welcome new facility on Thomas Street. I also welcome the proposals in respect of modular housing. Clearly, however, these measures are only part of the resolution to the homelessness problem. I am conscious that Senator Hayden has been calling for a comprehensive debate on housing and rent certainty for some time. I would like the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Community Alert Programme: Muintir na Tíre (4 Nov 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I thank Mr. Garvey for his presentation and for the great work that Muintir na Tíre does, particularly with the community alert programme. What does Mr. Garvey believe can be done to further strengthen the community alert programme? Is there any aspect of the programme that would be enhanced by using digital technology or CCTV, as used in urban areas? Could those technologies be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Community Alert Programme: Muintir na Tíre (4 Nov 2015)

Ivana Bacik: The witness gives west Cork as an example. I grew up in Cork and I know west Cork well. Excluding cities such as Dublin, does Muintir na Tíre have a role or does it have a different approach in small towns or urban centres around Ireland? There are growing concerns about late-night public order offences in town centres. Can any of the work done by Muintir na Tíre in rural areas...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Community Alert Programme: Muintir na Tíre (4 Nov 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I thank Mr. Cronin. That is very interesting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of Bail Bill 2015: Discussion (4 Nov 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the witnesses for their excellent and concise submissions. I agree entirely with the tone, as they have all taken a very similar approach. I share their welcome for this codifying Bill because we will see provisions relating to bail condensed in one place, which is very welcome. However, I would also agree with Ms Duffy's points about the need to ensure adequate protection of the...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Nov 2015)

Ivana Bacik: The issue of rural crime has been occupying a great deal of colleagues' time recently and has undoubtedly caused a significant amount of public concern. In that regard, I welcome the Government's investment in the provision of Garda cars and the return to Garda recruitment, which was stopped under the previous Government. It is very important to note the turnaround that is being made. In...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the passage of the Second Stage of the Marriage Bill through the Seanad last night. The legislation was greeted with a celebratory atmosphere in the House. The Visitors' Gallery was full and the overflow was accommodated in the nearby AV Room where people could watch the debate. It was a heartening and welcoming experience to be part of the debate. I hope the Bill will achieve a...

Seanad: Children First Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (21 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Minister and the groups and individuals in the Visitors Gallery who are present to witness the Bill go through. I wholeheartedy welcome these two amendments. I say well done to Senator Jillian van Turnhout and congratulate her on her tenacity in pursuing this issue. That has brought us to this day when we see this historic Bill being passed, in particular for the reason that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I thank all the witnesses for their presentations. I apologise that I had to go to the Seanad Chamber and will have to go back at 11.30 a.m. for Seanad business. I note that, overall, everyone is broadly welcoming of the Bill. Almost everyone has mentioned resourcing as a huge issue of implementation. Going through the heads of the Bill, it struck me it is vital that sufficient resources...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: Can Ms McDonald explain what she means by an intermediary? I did not quite follow that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I am sorry but is Ms McDonald saying that the intermediary procedures should extend beyond children and vulnerable adults?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I have another question, which was raised by the RCNI and on which everyone will have a view. It concerns delays in trials and in criminal proceedings in general, including pre-trial. Is there a specific way this Bill should address this?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I spoke to the Minister about that.

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I know colleagues across the floor would again wish to join me in offering our sincere condolences to the families of those who died so tragically in the fire in Carrickmines. The first of the funerals are being held today and it is appropriate that we remember them today, particularly so soon after the funeral of Garda Tony Golden which took place last Thursday. On a happier note, I...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Oct 2015)

Ivana Bacik: I ask colleagues to look at this powerful, two- or three-minute video, "Chains", the message of which is about the need to repeal the eighth amendment to safeguard the health of Irish women.
