Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Does anyone else here have a difficulty with stopping the use of the term "revenge porn" and instead using this other language, which has less implicit blame of the victim?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I thank Mr. Church.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I thank Mr. Gubbins. My background is in law. I think Deputy O'Callaghan mentioned this matter too. In one of the submissions, the witnesses referred to harm to the person as a way of defining the crime. Would they be able to elaborate on that? I had a little difficulty with the subjective nature of it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I have no doubt about that and I fully accept the harm. How does one define that within legislation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I understand that. We might come back to this. The submission from the legal profession makes a similar point. It argues that the focus should be on harm inflicted and that consideration should be given to defining harmful content. I have no problem with that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: It is a tricky area.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: We need to come back to that. My last question concerns other models. New Zealand, Australia and Scotland have been cited in the other presentations. Has an Garda looked at that? Have its members visited those jurisdictions?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Is anyone more familiar with the New Zealand regime? No. I refer to the calls for a digital safety commissioner. This suggestion came from the Law Reform Commission, and all of the witnesses endorse it. Would that be separate from the office of the Data Protection Commissioner, Ms Helen Dixon? Is there a need for another office and another official?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Can the witnesses tease that out for me? Why?

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Ba mhaith liom mo thacaíocht iomlán a chur leis an rún seo. I thank the Green Party for bringing the motion. It is very comprehensive. The Minister has left the Chamber. It strikes me, although it probably sounds a bit flippant, that he cannot see the woods for the trees in respect of the amendment he has tabled and the speech that was made. In his speech, the Minister...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: That is wonderful. I would love to know how the Government has achieved that between February 2018 and now, which is a year and a half.

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I am open to listening to the Minister of State when he comes back in. Unfortunately I will not be in the Chamber as I have another commitment but I will be listening to his speech. That policy review for me was a complete missed opportunity. It was published in February 2018, and leading into that was the time, if we were seriously interested in climate change, to actually look at the...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Cuirfidh mé críoch leis mar seo. The submission made in the review stated:Despite the comparatively low level of forest cover in Ireland the concentration of afforestation in areas of high biodiversity value magnifies its negative impact as a threat and pressure on biodiversity. The environmental impact of Irish forestry is further exacerbated by its intensive management. Common...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Has the Minister's script been circulated?

Catherine Connolly: Gabh mo leithscéal as a bheith déanach.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cúrsaí Oidhreachta (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Tá ceist dhíreach shimplí agam. Cén dul chun cinn atá déanta ó thaobh réiteach a fháil maidir le fadhbanna páirceála gar don suíomh oidhreachta seo? I have ten seconds, so I will say it again in English. It is a very simple question. What progress has been made in respect of the provision of parking facilities beside Dún...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cúrsaí Oidhreachta (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I dtús báire, ba mhaith liom a rá go bhfuil an t-ábhar seo ardaithe go minic ag mo chomhghleacaí, an Teachta Éamon Ó Cuív, freisin. Níl cóip den fhreagra sin agam ach, de réir mar a thuigim, tá beagáinín dul chun cinn déanta. Is é an rud a chuireann imní orm ná nach cloisim aon dháta. Beidh...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cúrsaí Oidhreachta (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Glacaim leis go bhfuil dul chun cinn déanta agus gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as sin. Bhí mé ar na hOileáin Árann ar feadh seachtaine i mí Lúnasa. Seo ceann de na hionaid oidhreachta ba mhó tóir air sa domhan. Bhí breis is 130,000 cuairteoirí ann an bhliain seo caite. Tá sé admhaithe ag an Rialtas go bhfuil...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Fiafraím ar an Aire, nó ar an Taoiseach, soiléiriú a thabhairt faoin aersheirbhís do na hOileáin Árann agus an síneadh conradh a bhaineann leis. Chomh fada agus atá sé ina sheasamh, an dtabharfaidh an tAire soiléiriú maidir leis an bpróiseas ceannacháin freisin?
