Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Garda Youth Diversion Projects (30 Jan 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I agree, of course, that the Garda youth diversion project is a successful and valuable scheme and I stated as much in the Chamber last week. I am aware from many excellent projects in my own constituency, including in Douglas and Togher, the latter of which won a national prize in the TidyTowns competition a year or two ago, that excellent work is taking place. Nevertheless, the scale of...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...to which I will return. The value of these measures has been well outlined by me, the Minister and the other speakers but, while not wanting to be too fussy, I take slight issue with one of the points raised by Deputy O'Callaghan, which related to revelations that the Garda youth diversion project was not working to maximum capacity. I have no issue with it. It is important to state...

Rural Crime: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jan 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...xe9;in appreciates that there are other deterrents, we have put police visibility at the heart of our proposals in this area.

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...question revealing that there were 9,000 examples of bench warrants executed for breaches of bail in 2017. Can any of the speakers offer a comment on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Bail (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion (5 Dec 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: .... I have two remaining points which I will make together. People can address them but I am not looking for a response.

The case of Shane O'Farrell is well-known but there are other cases where significant...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I have a number of questions. On the issue of training, Deputy Clare Daly raised training in respect of child protection. Another issue that was raised during the year was the ability of gardaí to give chase. I do not believe the Department ever provided figures on how many gardaí were qualified up to CBD, competency based driving, level 2, although I might be mistaken. My...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2018: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...the research reflects this. We have enough difficulty in this jurisdiction with breaches of bail. Very often it is not the bail conditions that are the problem; rather, it is the ability of the Garda to deal with somebody who is not complying with them. The same applies to conditions on release from prison following a conviction. I refer to where electronic tagging is used but where...
