Seanad: Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (16 May 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: This is a fascinating debate and is a fascinating issue to tease out. There is no doubting the sincerity with which Senator Boyhan and his colleagues have brought forward this amendment. Senator Boyhan is correct that in this House, he is someone who engages, who listens, seeks views and guidance and is not dogmatic in the views or proposals he puts forward. Having listened to the debate,...

This is effectively a...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Bill 2017: Second Stage (8 May 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the Minister for his attendance today. We will support the Bill. Like me, the Minister probably did not expect the debate thus far too have taken on such a tetchy or defensive tone but perhaps that is indicative of from where we are coming and reflective of earlier politics. That is why the Bill is important, as has been rightly acknowledged by everyone despite the back-and-forth...

Seanad: Civil Law (Costs in Probate Matters) Bill 2017: Second Stage (8 May 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I probably will not use the eight minutes as much of what I would reflect upon has already been said.

We will support passage to the next...
