Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Oversight and Accountability: Policing Authority (21 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: I know that. I have watched some of it. The issue here is that on one side there is an attempt to mislead the Policing Authority and-or on the other side there is the question of the capacity of those presenting to the authority in the first place. That raises even more alarming issues, that is, if those who are presenting such rubbish, lack of information or lack of detail to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Oversight and Accountability: Policing Authority (21 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: I have two very quick points to make. Ms Feehily spoke earlier on about when a clerk had to be appointed. I refer to the €26 million and ICT. As I said earlier, the Committee of Public Accounts would probably have more capacity to look at that than the Policing Authority. Obviously, the appointment of a clerk through the Policing Authority would have to go through a process. This...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Oversight and Accountability: Policing Authority (21 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: I said the last day at the committee that I believe the protocols by which the Policing Authority meets with people, etc., and many in the committee have said the same, needs to be looked at. That is an honest comment to the witnesses. I am a supporter of the Policing Authority. My political party created it. We got some things right and some things wrong, which I will admit.

An Bille um an Séú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht 2018: An Dara Céim (Atógáil) - Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: For me, repealing the eighth amendment is about trusting women. It is also about trusting men. I might also say that it is about trusting the electorate and legislators. That is what we are here to do. We are all honoured to be elected as Members of these Houses and it is our job to deal with this issue which has been outstanding since 1983. As I stated previously, I fully support the...

Alan Kelly: The Garda Síochána has responded to the committee with a range of correspondence. I would like to highlight two issues with which I am not happy. First, when we were discussing issues relating to the Garda College, a document was sent to the then Garda Commissioner by the head of legal affairs, Mr. Ken Ruane, in July 2017. I understand it was a letter rather than a legal document...
