- Morris Tribunal: Statements. (17 Jun 2005)
Joe Costello: I half-heartedly welcome the statements today. I would have much preferred a proper debate. This is the first opportunity we have had in the House to examine the findings of the Morris tribunal. An interim report was issued which was not discussed in the House at all. The proper way to deal with this issue would be by way of debate rather than statements. In this manner we could have a motion...
- Morris Tribunal: Statements. (17 Jun 2005)
Joe Costello: Indeed, on the one occasion when I arranged a meeting between the McBrearty family and the Minister, last month, on the issue of costs, Deputy McDowell cancelled it at the last minute on the spurious grounds that Mr. Mark McConnell was attending and that the lawyers were not, although no such condition was made prior to the meeting. The following week, in stark contrast, the Taoiseach found...

Joe Costello: All the families in the public Gallery today have suffered at the hands of Deputy McDowell in the last two Governments.

- Offences Against the State (Amendment) Act 1998: Motion. (16 Jun 2005)
Joe Costello: I welcome the opportunity to discuss the motion on the renewal of the sections of the Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998. We all remember the tragic circumstances under which this amending legislation was introduced in September 1998. We will recall how ironic it was that we had signed up to the Good Friday Agreement in Easter of the same year only for it to be shattered by the...

Joe Costello: If that is the case, will the Minister give the House an indication of the breakdown between scheduled and non-scheduled offences before the Special Criminal Court? My information is that the Special Criminal Court has moved from its proper jurisdiction, away from scheduled political-type offences, towards normal, criminal offences that should normally be heard before jury courts. However, it...
