Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: The reality is that this Administration is coming to its end. Nothing will happen until after the next election.

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: I do not believe the position of the Clerk of the Dáil and that of the Secretary General of the Department of Justice and Equality are comparable. I believe there is a lapse or a gap. It does not send a good signal across all of the areas of criminal justice in this country when we have the top administrative job when it comes to the justice area in a void or not filled. I believe it...

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: There is a problem if Mr. Waters has no interest in tending for this position career-wise. This is not with regard to Mr. Waters personally, but organisationally and institutionally there is a failing. It is not on the part of the Department, but it is the most important position in the Department. Notwithstanding what Mr. Waters has just said - I agree with that - the non-filling of this...

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: That was the shortest opening statement ever, which is a good sign. I was not going to start with the issue of prisons as they are not as such the subject of this Vote. We are dealing with the appropriation accounts, which cover quite a good deal as well as the issue of prisons. In the appropriation accounts, I want to start by asking about the asylum process, which is one of Mr. Waters'...

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: I want to go through some of the figures and some of the policy announcements that have been made recently, particularly as they pertain to fast-tracking the processing of applicants. I will start with that aspect. On doing some research into this, I saw press reports of a fast-tracking process being formulated within the Department having been announced in the media in April of this year....

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Deasy: What are we looking at as far as people remaining in the system for years and years? I am from Waterford and the direct provision centres are in Tramore. I deal with many people who are in the system, having applied for refugee status.
