Criminal Law (Home Defence) Bill 2009: Second Stage (17 Sep 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas as an deis labhairt ar an Bhille seo. Tá sé cosúil leis an Bhille a cuireadh os ár gcomhair anseo mí Mheithimh 2006, Bille a chuir an Teachta Jim O'Keeffe os comhair an Tí. Ag an am chuir mé ina choinne agus is oth liom a rá arís go mbeidh mé ag cur i gcoinne an Bhille seo de thairbhe nach bhfuil smaoineamh déanta ar an méid atá Fine Gael ag iarraidh a chur...

Order of Business (16 Sep 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I failed to find two items of legislation in the Government's legislative programme. Given the urgency of the issue, is it proposed to introduce amending legislation to change the timing of the Exchequer's rebate of 60% for redundancy payments to provide that such rebates be reduced in cases of profitable trading companies and that payment would only proceed when a company had complied with...

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This section deals with the issue of evidential provisions as proof of the existence of a criminal organisation and Deputy Flanagan's amendment states that somebody shall not be convicted under this Act.

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister began his contribution by saying this issue should be put in context. He is quite correct; there is a context. Wayne Doherty, Roy Collins, Donna Cleary, Shane Geoghegan and many others have been mentioned in the debate and we should put the issue in that context. However, it would do them a disservice to turn our criminal justice system on its head. The DPP currently has, as...

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The have not been tried here and when they were tried they were successful. When the court was moved out of Limerick in the Keane case there was a successful prosecution. It is the case that we are a small country and it is difficult to find a solution but making juries anonymous, using video links or sequestering them could work. It has not been proven that they do not work. Why opt for...

Enforcement of Court Orders (Amendment) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. a1a: In page 4, line 24, to delete "as soon as practicable" and substitute "within 8 hours". I mentioned this on Second Stage and will not labour the point. I am concerned that the legislation stipulates that one be brought to court "as soon as practicable" after arrest.

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2009)
