- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)
Jack Chambers: Two of the amendments in the group make sense in the context of the section the Minister proposes to insert. The first proposal, in amendment No. 3 in the name of Deputy Mick Wallace, is to extend the time during which sales will be permitted to 7 p.m. I support this proposal and ask the Minister to consider it before the Report Stage debate. A second proposal by Deputy Wallace would...

- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)
Jack Chambers: I would like an explanation from the Minister about why the Government is refusing to shift from the current position that Deputy O'Callaghan has outlined. Surely, if the Minister is trying to reform the process, there is a need to provide explanation and further detail. That is in Deputy Ó Laoghaire's drafting. No person will be identified. It is a case of formalising and opening up...

Jack Chambers: I move amendment No. 180:In page 39, to delete lines 25 and 26. This adds another arm to the procedures committee in the context of administrative support. Surely the commission will have the necessary administrative support. I do not see the necessity to have a specific reference to it in the legislation. While the committee has taken a position to support the procedures committee, I do...

- Central Bank (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Feb 2018)
Jack Chambers: I welcome Deputy Doherty's Bill. I also recognise the great work my colleague, Deputy McGrath, has done as finance spokesperson but also on the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach with my colleagues in the Dáil. At the heart of the issue is the thread of lies over the past ten years. We have had a decade of lies from banks from when they initially...

It is a difficult time for people in the force. He served in my area of Blanchardstown in the K district and did distinguished work. It is important we recognise that. I will start with the working group...
