Other Questions: Defence Forces Representative Organisations (9 Nov 2016)

Mick Barry: Like the Garda representative organisations, PDFORRA and RACO have taken a case to the European Committee of Social Rights under Articles 4 and 6 of the European Social Charter seeking the same right of access to industrial relations machinery as other unions have, as well as the right to affiliate to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. The claim of the Garda organisations was upheld, despite...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (9 Nov 2016)

Mick Barry: ...of the Taoiseach on the timing of meetings of the committee. However, important events have taken place since the last meeting. I refer in particular to the result of the dispute between An Garda Síochána and the Government on pay. I probably should not use the word "result" because the feedback I am getting is that the Garda ballot was far from a done deal. There is a lot of...

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform indicated that this public...

Mick Barry: 17. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine regarding the raids conducted by gardaí and Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, staff on fishing vessels, as reported in the media on 5 October 2016, if the Marine Survey Office shares intelligence with the Garda Síochána and the WRC regarding the optimum manner in which to target their raids in order to best uncover...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 Oct 2016)

Mick Barry: ..., with an injunction. There is also a bias against the left in the Judiciary. I will give examples regarding my own party. In July 2015, one of our councillors, Councillor Mick Murphy, applied for a permit from the local Garda chief superintendent to collect funds in the run up to an election, to use for election purposes. This man is of good character and has never been convicted of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: A Vision for Public Transport: Discussion (5 Oct 2016)

Mick Barry: ...where the money to fund the claim will come from. There is a concern that if it is not funded from the State, workers will be made to pay through the back door. Ministers felt last week that the Garda pay claim was wrapped up, but the Garda Representative Association, GRA, rejected the proposals, and it would be a mistake on the part of Ministers to feel that the Dublin Bus issue is...

Order of Business (4 Oct 2016)

Mick Barry: I will be brief. In 2014, the Council of Europe upheld an earlier ruling that members of An Garda Síochána should be permitted to strike and participate in trade union activity. In our view, such human rights legislation should also permit gardaí to refuse to be used against trade union and community campaigns such as we saw with the water charges campaign. Does the...

Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998: Motion (14 Jun 2016)

Mick Barry: ...in a trial are impinged on. There is also a lengthening of the time for which a person can be detained after arrest, a shift in the burden of proof and the provision that the mere opinion of a garda is to be treated as evidence. These offences add to the already draconian offences against the State legislation. When the legislation was rushed through Parliament, we were told it was a...
