James Lawless: Amendments Nos. 30 and 31 are related and may be discussed together. Amendment No. 32 is in the same section but not grouped. Amendment No. 33 has, unfortunately, fallen foul of the "charge on the Revenue" rule and is out of order.

- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)
James Lawless: We have dealt with amendments Nos. 30 and 31, which Deputy Daly has spoken to, amendment No.32 which he spoke to briefly. Then Deputy Ó Snodaigh has elaborated on amendment No. 32 and has also spoken to some extent on amendment No. 33, which is out of order because there is a potential charge on the Exchequer.

James Lawless: The Deputy has given a number of recent, contemporary, political entanglements but I am also reminded of such things as Peter Berry and the Arms Trial where information was passed on and which perhaps changed the course of the State. There have been so many significant interventions at certain times that I can see the logic behind the line taken by the Deputy. Did the Deputy wish to come...
- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)
James Lawless: Well, it may or it may not be because if one looks at section 36(1)(a)(i), it refers to “the preservation of peace and public order in the State,” and in the instance of the Arms Trial it was the Northern Ireland state, which arguably is a different state.
