Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Alan Shatter: As the Deputy knows, there was a great deal of concern about events taking place in County Donegal. There were allegations of which I was aware. I had no means of establishing their veracity and raised appropriate questions in the House. Eventually the Morris tribunal was established. I was the Fine Gael justice spokesperson at the time. My former colleague in this House, Mr. Jim...

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Alan Shatter: I wish to say this as it is very important. There is absolutely no reason for the Attorney General to be subject to any criticism. She cannot answer for herself in the House, as she is not a Member. I know that she works extraordinary hours because there are occasions when she and I speak to each other on the telephone at 6 a.m. about issues and legislation. On this issue we had not had a...

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Alan Shatter: I do not have all of my papers on this issue with me. I had them in the House this morning. I am advised by the departmental officials that no one from the Department sits on the working group. The first I knew of it was in the past 24 hours. Today is Wednesday - I am trying to re-focus on timelines in order that no one shoots me for them. I do not know who sits on the working group. I...

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Alan Shatter: I will take the Deputy's questions in the order he raised them. I can absolutely assure him that I did not leak the inspectorate's report. A query came into the Department of Justice and Equality from a well known journalist who clearly had substantial knowledge of what was in it. I was asked would I do an interview and I explained I could not do an interview on the substance of the detail...

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Alan Shatter: They completed that process and there is an appointment to be made. I hope it will be made relatively shortly. It would be unfair on the individuals who went through that process to require that it be started again. It is not an issue to which I have given much thought in the context of the events which have happened in the past 48 hours, but I would have understood it would still have been...

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Alan Shatter: On a point of order, perhaps Deputy McGuinness, between now and when we have questions, might revert to his files. On the issue he raised about a female member of the force, he might go back to the correspondence he purported to reference and come back to tell the House why he did not respond to me.

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Alan Shatter: I want to begin by addressing a matter of substantial importance. On 1 October 2013 in a Topical Issue debate on the penalty points issue, I made a statement that the whistleblowers did not co-operate with the Garda investigations that took place in respect of their allegations. I appreciate that this statement has been the source of some upset and distress to the whistleblowers. I have...

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Alan Shatter: It was never my intention to cause any upset. If any upset was caused, I hope that my correcting the record of the Dáil today will put this matter to rest. In doing so, I again acknowledge, as I have done many times previously that the reports published and the findings and recommendations that have been made with regard to the fixed notice charge system and penalty points are in...
