Vehicle Clamping Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (22 Jan 2015)

Seán Kenny: This Bill addresses the commitment in the programme for Government to legislate for the regulation of clamping. The impetus for this commitment stems principally from public concern about the activity of some clamping operators, and the extent to which clamping may be carried out in a less than fair manner, with no obvious consistent or transparent recourse to appeal against perceived...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Firearms Licences: (Resumed) Discussion (21 Jan 2015)

Seán Kenny: I welcome the witnesses to the committee. I listened carefully to their submissions, as I did to Chief Superintendent Healy when he was before the committee. I am not a firearms expert so witnesses will have to bear with me. They will probably find I make points on which I am not accurate. However, I am just giving the picture as I see it.

The superintendent made the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Firearms Licences: (Resumed) Discussion (21 Jan 2015)

Seán Kenny: Mr. Keogh mentioned the competitive edge a self-loading rifle provides. Where does that come into competitive shooting? If somebody is aiming at a target and firing single shots, is there a timeframe involved? I expect that each time a shooter reloads a single shot rifle, it will be just as accurate as a rifle that automatically reloads. Will Mr. Keogh explain how the competitive edge...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Firearms Licences: (Resumed) Discussion (21 Jan 2015)

Seán Kenny: On the calibre of the rifles, mention was made of .22 rifles. Are rifles of a higher calibre than that used in target shooting and sports? What would be the highest calibre weapon that one would use in target shooting?
