Niall Ó Donnghaile: I, too, wish to extend a word of welcome to the ambassador. She is very welcome to the Seanad. Earlier this week, we held the 61st plenary session of the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly. I must say that it was a very worthwhile endeavour, as it usually is. It is the first in-person plenary we have been able to hold since the start of the pandemic. While it was a much shorter event...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as a cur i láthair. Níl an taithí ná an t-eolas céanna agam ar an ábhar seo mar níl Eircodes i bhfeidhm sa chuid d’Éirinn ina bhfuil mise i mo chónaí. Mar sin ní sheasfaidh mé idir comhghleacaithe eile a bhfuil ceisteanna i bhfad níos práinní acu. Níl uaim...

There are also issues of concern regarding the Irish Government and its...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Representatives from the Committee on the Administration of Justice (24 Feb 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I wish to make a brief point of information in response to the Chairman. I raised this matter with the Garda Commissioner and the Minister for Justice at the time. The bigger concern for me and, I believe, for organisations such as the CAJ is that it was not even a matter that this was a decision by individual gardaí. I am not necessarily questioning them. The concern is that it was...
