Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: Last week I asked the Minister about something else. There have been a number of suspensions of late of senior players in the organisation. While I was not critical, I asked the Minister and ask Mr. Harris now whether there will be a change of policy. When complaints are made about people, is the way forward to suspend them, pending the result of an investigation? We did not see that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: I will not name the individual concerned, but there was a suspension on 3 January. Is Mr. Harris happy that all of the documents were sent to GSOC? I do not just mean the ones the Garda deemed to be relevant. Is GSOC being allowed to assume what is relevant and receiving all of the documents, or is the Garda sending it what it deems to be relevant?

Mick Wallace: My last question-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: -----is about IT. As Mr. Harris was not around, it is no fault of his, but the committee has had many discussions on the role of Accenture. We were given some contradictory answers by one of the individuals involved that did not stack up. We have highlighted huge discrepancies and crazy costs, many of which were poorly monitored, in how the contract has operated. Will Mr. Harris examine...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: I have two questions for the Commissioner. Regarding the leak of the suspension that I referred to on 3 January, firstly, did he inform the Minister for Justice and Equality in advance of the suspension? Second, the Commissioner mentioned defending the rule of law. Was he concerned with the fact that the media had the story about the suspension before the suspension took place? I know the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: We are conscious that traditionally so-called crime correspondents seemed to have good access to confidential information over the years. We hope that this is something that the Commissioner can sort out and I wish him good luck with that.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ports Facilities (12 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: On 3 May last, the Minister told the House that the structure of the port’s ownership was somewhat unorthodox and would certainly need to come under more immediate scrutiny. That does not seem to have really happened, however. Several weeks ago, the Minister of State in the Department of Defence, Deputy Kehoe, brought a delegation to Brussels to meet the European Commissioner for...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ports Facilities (12 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: I know there is €25 million going into Rosslare. However, there are plans for the Government to invest €587 million in infrastructure for Dublin, Cork and Shannon ports. Compared with that, €25 million is a drop in the ocean. Dublin Port Company plans to invest €1 billion over the next ten years. In 2018 alone, €132 million was invested in Dublin Port....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ports Facilities (12 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: For more than three years now - since prior to the Brexit referendum - I have argued that this Government and that which preceded it needed to invest and to address the issues faced at Rosslare Europort, not least the problem that it is run by a rail company and is partly owned by the British. Every time I question the ownership of the port I am given the same line about the complicated...
