- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: I thought it was amendments Nos. 17 to 21. I beg your pardon, Acting Chair. Very good. I accept what the Minister of State said. I think there is very thin paper between what we are saying. I will withdraw the amendment.
- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: I move amendment No. 18: In page 9, line 8, to delete “without delay”. At a number of points in the amending Bill, it is proposed to amend the 2003 Act to require judicial authorities and others to do things "without delay",which is the phrase that is used. The reason I seek to remove that is not by any means to encourage delay, but to acknowledge the fact that I think it...
- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: The same issue runs throughout all of these amendments. It is not with a view to promoting delay or anything like that. The Minister of State is absolutely right that these things need to be done expeditiously. We have to remember that in the context of the surrender of a person, it is often a hugely traumatic event for that person. Very often we are dealing with somebody who might have...

- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: I move amendment No. 23: In page 10, to delete line 31. I want to ask the Minister of State his view on the groupings because these are amendments that seek to delete specific provisions relating to whether there is a discretion involved.
- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: Amendment No. 23 deals with the amendment to section 16(i) of the 2003 Act. The reason I raise this issue is that I think it is at variance with what the Minister of State said regarding other aspects. I do not dispute his bona fides in this regard but section 16(1) states: Where a person does not consent to his or her surrender to the issuing state or has withdrawn his or her consent...

- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: I think it was agreed to discuss amendments Nos. 45 to 47, inclusive. Amendment No. 47 has already been discussed with amendments Nos. 23 and 28. The issue involved is, again, related to judicial discretion and I have already discussed that. I am happy to move the amendment but I do not think it needs to be gone into any further.

- Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (22 Feb 2024)
Barry Ward: On this section, I will make only a small point. On a number occasions in the course of this Committee Stage, sections have been replaced. Again, I understand why that happens. It denies Senators the opportunity to amend the section that is being inserted by way of an amendment because we do not see it until the amendments are published. As a broad statement of policy, I think it is...
