Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Bail (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (5 Apr 2017)

Colm Brophy: I seek clarification. I presume what is taking place is a legislative underpinning of what would be normal practice by An Garda Síochána and, I presume, fairly standard practice on busy weekends in urban stations throughout the country. I welcome it because I believe this legislative underpinning is the right way to go. It is more a reflection of our modern society and,...

Colm Brophy: Is that a vote?

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Bail (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (5 Apr 2017)

Colm Brophy: I support what Deputy O'Callaghan said. Obviously, everything involves a balancing of rights. In this particular instance where we have so much experience of this, the particular power being granted to An Garda Síochána is absolutely proportionate and right.

As things stand, many people say there is a lack of rights for victims and those affected by...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Bail (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (5 Apr 2017)

Colm Brophy: I would make the same point. While recognising what Deputy Clare Daly is attempting to achieve, I think the process would be unrealistic.

I can see the thinking behind it. I just do not...

Colm Brophy: When I listen to colleagues I am tempted to ask the Minister what the figure of €92,000 for public relations out of a budget of €2.572 billion would be as a percentage. We can try to use up the committee's time to further an agenda or we can look at the Estimates and the Votes. I apologise for missing the start of the Minister's contribution but I am particularly interested in...
