- Defence Forces Strength (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I beg the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's indulgence to refer to another defence issue. I commend the Minister on the manner in which he swiftly acted and commissioned a report into the deaths of the Army personnel, Corporal Fintan Heneghan, Private Mannix Armstrong and Private Thomas Walsh. Information was provided to the Minister early in his term of office, and he commissioned a report and has...

- Naval Service Operations (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I praise the Naval Service for its work this summer and the number of rescues carried out at sea. I have a suspicion that the tabular information will feature one country in particular. This discussion arises from a discussion held in the House involving Deputy Harrington prior to the recess. Given that there were 1,100 operations and boardings to the end of this month and given the close...
- Naval Service Operations (21 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I presume the Minister is referring to fishing vessels not naval vessels.

- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Question 53: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on proposals prepared by the Garda Commissioner in relation to the potential retirement of 1,200 gardaà before February 2012; the discussions he has had with the Garda Commissioner in relation to redeployment of gardaà to stations that have been identified in this report as potentially losing currently serving gardaÃ;...
- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister for his reply. I accept that it was a decision of the previous Government to agree to the reduction of the targets but that was done on the basis of record investment in Garda numbers by that Government over a long number of years, and that was the reason there are 14,100 today. During the 1980s when the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, was Minister for Justice, and...
- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: The Minister should answer the questions. He is the one who said the criminals would celebrate.
- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Criminals will celebrate.
- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: The Minister is the king of alarmists.
- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: He is being alarmist. He wrote the book on it.
- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: At the end of November the Minister will be in a position to know the full numbers of gardaà retiring by the end of February. When does he envisage the Commissioner will be in a position to advise on potential closures or the reorganisation of the force? Will it be in the new year or before then?
- Garda Strength (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: No one said anything about their work.
- Legal Aid Service (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: Question 56: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on discussions his officials have had with the Incorporated Law Society in relation to fees for the criminal legal aid system; the contingency plans in the events of withdrawal of services by participating barristers and solicitors in the scheme; if he will provide information on any other matter pertaining to this issue;...
- Legal Aid Service (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I welcome the engagement that has been announced and note the Minister outlined the membership of that task force and when he expects a report. He sometimes reminds me of a disc jockey from the 1980s who continually plays the same record, thereby keeping happy the fan base. There have been reports from an organisation called the Criminal Law Practitioners Association, which appears to have...
- Legal Aid Service (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: The Minister keeps throwing out those little grenades. He had no difficulty in finding â¬30 million in his Department for the Garda overtime for the visits of the Queen and President Obama, and we have yet to see from where he found it. If he wants to look for money, he is able to find it.
- Legal Aid Service (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister for that information. This is purely a follow up question to a discussion we had on this matter prior to the summer recess. There was agreement among everyone concerned that this scheme would be used. Am I to take it that an intern from JobBridge will be placed in every centre throughout the country at the end of this process? Will the board consider the making of...
- Prison Inspection Reports (20 Sep 2011)
Dara Calleary: I endorse the Minister's remarks about Judge Reilly. Has the Minister performed a similar exercise with the Prison Service, as is under way with the Garda Commissioner, with regard to impending retirements? What will be the likely impact of those retirements on the service or on the Minister's plans for it?
