Gender-Based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (3 Jul 2024)

Pa Daly: There is no getting away from the enormity of the challenge that faces us in dealing with domestic, gender-based and sexual violence. I recall working in the courts and dealing with quite a few cases where there were breaches of barring orders, protection orders and the like. It was the exceptional case, probably only 5% of cases, that actually went forward to conviction and the giving of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Courts Service (2 Jul 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply. Years ago, when there were massive delays in payments, many barristers left the system for a long time. By and large, the system works fairly well but barristers have been increasingly frustrated over the past nine months. I understand that these things take time, but for years now barristers have been told this is a decision for the Department of public...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Seller’s Legal Pack for Property Buyers Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Pa Daly: From what I can see, a lot of houses are put on the market before the probate is granted. That is why people come to our offices to ask can we lobby the probate office in Letterkenny - not usually the one in Tralee, in fairness to them, they are fairly good there - and see what can be done to speed up the process. I imagine where the whole estate might be a house and maybe a very small bit...

Pa Daly: I know that when you are going to a bank and you are trying to get the funeral paid for, that can be difficult and can exhaust the relatively small amount of money.
