Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (19 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: This is what I alluded to in my speech a few minutes ago. I am a bit like Deputy Ó Laoghaire; I am indifferent and neutral on this. If the Chief Whip says there should be more time afforded to the debate, I am all for that. At committee, we afforded more time. The time petered out and Deputies did not offer to contribute, so naturally the debate ran to a close. I want to be clear on...

Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (19 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: They seem to be projecting their own conspiracies onto that and saying there is some ulterior motive. That is not appropriate.

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: I will speak primarily as Chair of the justice committee, where this pact went through not long ago. On the procedural aspect, I have heard a constant refrain from many Deputies that not enough time was allowed to debate the matter. I heard the Taoiseach say yesterday on the Order of Business that every Member who wanted to speak on the matter or contribute to it would be permitted to do...

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: How was it curtailed? The Deputy wandered out of the room without having spoken. He was in the room, he hung around for a while and then he wandered out of the room. The floor was open to him and he chose not to take up the opportunity. I am not responsible for what he chooses to do.

James Lawless: The Deputy might decide to characterise it any way he wants.

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: Indeed. The fact is the committee gave adequate time and completed its consideration only after all Members who wished to speak had spoken. I scanned the room a couple of times and even looked outside to see whether there was anyone else but there was not. That was why the committee finished its deliberation. There was no other reason.

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: I might need one to keep up with you, although that might be to your credit, given you are a busy man, as I know. I do not want to personalise this, but I do want to rebut very strongly any Member suggesting there was not adequate time, which is completely incorrect. On another point, this is not by any means the end of the debate on the pact. The next Dáil might feature a...

Protection of Accident Victims from Non-Consensual Recording of Images Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: Yes. I commend Deputy Smith for introducing the Bill. As an aside, the Ceann Comhairle has already referenced those watching from outside. It might be worth clarifying that though this Chamber is often sparse, many of us are watching diligently in our office, as I was five minutes ago when I saw this matter being raised by Deputy Smith. I made my way to the Chamber to speak on it. I was...
