- Misuse of Drugs (Supervised Injecting Facilities) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: I seek clarification. Is the word "review" or "renew"?
- Misuse of Drugs (Supervised Injecting Facilities) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: Just on a point of clarification, the Minister of State made reference to "review" but the amendment refers to "renewal". That is a more positive term than "review", which has negative connotations. The amendment calls for the renewal of the Act, in the context of public safety. That is what is written in the amendment before us. It is quite a positive amendment in the context of what we...
- Misuse of Drugs (Supervised Injecting Facilities) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: Renewal is very different to review in terms of what has been said.
- Misuse of Drugs (Supervised Injecting Facilities) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: I hear the points Deputies Maureen O'Sullivan and Ó Snodaigh have made. The Minister of State should justify her opposition to this. I do not think we should fear the Dáil discussing this every two years or having a report come before it with regard to how it is working, what the issues might be and how we can make it work better in the context of rehabilitation and harm...
- Misuse of Drugs (Supervised Injecting Facilities) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: I understand where Deputy O'Sullivan is coming from. On Committee Stage, I raised the prescriptive nature of the consultative process that may have to occur. What the Minister of State said then was that there is a proper process of consultation, in the context of the Garda and the various stakeholders, which occurs through the regulations that are published. On Committee Stage, the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: I thank the Commissioner and senior management team for coming before us. My first question is on the part of their statement where they mention that the past decade was one of wrongdoing. They refer to the fixed charge notice period from 2006 onwards, but they talk about figures from 2009 onwards for breath-testing, with PULSE and Dräger breathalyser data. Can the witnesses outline...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)
Jack Chambers: The witnesses' statement mentions that there was a decade of wrongdoing in the matters to which they refer. Can they give me information on fixed charge notices from 2006 onwards? They only refer to breath-testing data from 2009 onwards. I want to know what was the data process, if there was one, from 2006 to 2009. If they do not have data on breath-testing, what did they have about...
