Gender-Based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (3 Jul 2024)

Pa Daly: ...challenge that faces us in dealing with domestic, gender-based and sexual violence. I recall working in the courts and dealing with quite a few cases where there were breaches of barring orders, protection orders and the like.

Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (2 Jul 2024)

Pa Daly: ..., that increase did not have any deterrent effect as the number of people carrying knives or being charged and convicted did not decrease.

Given the decline in the number of gardaí in...

Pa Daly: ...of the UN Human Rights Committee, which has stated that "the trying of civilians by [these non-jury courts] should be very exceptional...".

Transfer and Processing of Passenger Name Record Data: Motions (17 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: ...the time. The importance of international co-operation in the fight against crime can be overstated. I agree with what the Minister of State said in his opening statement about the exchange of PNR data. It has to be balanced with the protection of privacy and other fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals. We will not be opposing these motions. I agree that the processing of...

Transfer of Passenger Name Record Data: Motions (14 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: As the Minister stated, PNR data is the information provided by passengers and collected and held in the reservation systems of the carriers for commercial purposes. The content during book in and check in may also include personal data of people on their own or with other people. This can assist authorities in identifying criminals. Like yesterday’s debate about facial recognition...

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Agency Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (8 Nov 2023)

Pa Daly: On Committee Stage, we moved an amendment to section 41 after concerns were raised with us regarding the safeguarding of personal data of victims and survivors in the context of any information request made by the agency to a service provider under that section.

That convention created a legal framework at pan-European level to protect women against all forms of violence.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Legislative Process (11 Jul 2023)

Pa Daly: As I said in a debate on legislation in recent weeks, I have sympathy for the Data Protection Commission in that it is under-resourced and, at some stages, it seems deliberately so. I also note the Government increased funding to the Data Protection Commission long after we in Sinn Féin made provision for doing so in our alternative budget under Deputy Martin Kenny two years ago. It...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Legislative Process (11 Jul 2023)

Pa Daly: ...and transparency activists. It is their view that the commission already uses its powers to direct non-disclosure far too liberally. According to the Government, the intent behind the law is to protect data given to the commission rather than to give the commission the ability to declare proceedings confidential. On a reading of the amendment, however, the powers are radical in that...

Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998 and Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009: Motions (27 Jun 2023)

Pa Daly: ...justice system. It proposes that this is not be based upon conjecture or fear. Aneurin Bevan used to talk of fear of the bogeyman and used to say that if one does not have a programme then a bogeyman will do. It should be based on statistics and data which can objectively state why a long-held desire for jury trials be maintained. The report sends a message to the entire system that we...

Central Statistics Office Sexual Violence Survey 2022: Statements (17 May 2023)

Pa Daly: ...to ask how we can combat it. Better statistics on sexual violence must be our starting point. We currently lag significantly behind the United Kingdom when it comes to this. The gathering of data over there includes information on age, gender, ethnicity and so many other areas. I suspect that if we keep these data on a more regular basis, we will quickly learn the nature of sexual...

EU Regulation on Collection and Transfer of Advance Passenger Information: Motion (25 Apr 2023)

Pa Daly: ...and replaced by two different regulations. There is, as was outlined in the briefing document, a close connection between this regulation and the regulation on collection and transfer of API data for facilitating external border controls. As the Minister of State outlined, because Oireachtas approval is required, that has to be done prior to, I think, 6 May. It is important to note that...

Pa Daly: ...be relevant to the legislation on bodycams we discussed last week, which specifically refers not to members of An Garda Síochána but to Garda personnel. That might need to be teased out at a later stage when discussing who has control of the data, for example. It is a very responsible role and we will have to look at that in further detail. I also welcome the Minister of State...

Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Feb 2023)

Pa Daly: ...about the same number of pages, and there is a presumption of lawfulness where any conduct confirms with a code of practice. The rank of garda who can approve a search of automated numberplate recognition data is also to be set out in a code of practice rather than within primary legislation. I can understand the need for flexibility on issues such as the type of recording device used,...

Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Pa Daly: ...motion. I also acknowledge all the work that the Minister has done over the past number of years in this regard. The issues with the report, the redress scheme and access to testimony and other data are well known at this point. The fact that claims are still to based on length of time rather than the degree of abuse or other factors is worrying. The most recent revelation regarding...

Proposal for a Directive on Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence: Motion (21 Jun 2022)

Pa Daly: ...the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Strictly an approach of criminalisation will not work and provision of shelters will be key. More broadly, access to decent employment, social protection payments, housing, childcare and wrap-around services, as evidenced by Catherine Casey and her team in Tralee, all help. When women can access the resources, they are less dependent...
