Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...breeding establishments, there is the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and then there is every local authority and the Garda. Anybody who follows any piece of work knows that is a recipe for failure. There were some welcome announcements this week but my fear is that if we keep the underlying problem, which is...

Matt Carthy: 580. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number of dog attacks on livestock reported to An Garda Síochána in each of the years 2016 to date, by county or similar geographic unit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15121/23]

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Feb 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...Safety Bill. It has the potential to be important legislation. I note that among the stated objectives of the Bill is "to provide for clear and effective oversight and accountability of An Garda Síochána". It also includes provisions to restructure GSOC. In all these matters we have to be informed by the experiences to date, including the experiences of our constituents and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Inquiries (16 Feb 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...that court. This person committed 11 further offences, including an offence that was committed a half hour or thereabouts before Mr. O'Farrell was killed, when this individual was stopped by gardaí. The questions involved in this are profound and will have serious repercussions for An Garda Síochána, the Courts Service, the Director of Public Prosecutions and, perhaps,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (15 Feb 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...Shane was killed by a man who should have been in prison at the time and five years since the Dáil and Seanad adopted resolutions calling for an independent public inquiry into the actions of An Garda Síochána and other State agencies both before and after Shane's death. The Taoiseach's Government at the time ignored those resolutions and instead established a scoping...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Garda Investigations (14 Dec 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...bombings was silence but thanks to the efforts of families, local communities and the organisation, Justice for the Forgotten, a focus of sorts has been put on these incidents. In October 2022, An Garda Síochána issued a renewed appeal for information, which I welcome. There were two victims of the Belturbet bombing - 16-year-old Patrick Stanley from Clara in County Offaly,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...involved in a fund before it enters into an agreement with them? Would it ensure there was nothing untoward or that no constituent party of any fund had been found in breach of the Central Bank or Garda fraud, either domestically or internationally?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...director of Irish operations. The Central Bank fined those Irish operators €443,000 last year, which is not ancient history, because they had failed to submit a fraud report either to the Garda or Revenue over a two-month period. Would Coillte consider such an incident to be reason enough not to enter in to a construct with a company with that type of track record?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jun 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...we still have tens of thousands of vehicles owned by public bodies which are not EVs. Many local authority vehicles are not EVs, yet we are giving grants to private individuals. We still have Garda vehicles that are not EVs. We cannot just say that this is how it works and this is how we will operate. We certainly cannot take the position of the SEAI that in the long term poorer people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)

Matt Carthy: Can I ask a question on Head 10? Some colleagues already asked whether five members are sufficient for the board. In respect of the Data Protection Commission and the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission there is provision in legislation for the appointment of additional members if workloads increase. I am wondering why such a provision is not embedded in this Bill and whether the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Jun 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...course, the reason he is doing that is because that practice is currently illegal. Back in the 1980s, the Taoiseach will remember that Fianna Fáil was brought all the way to the Supreme Court by An Garda Síochána to prove it was neither a charity nor a philanthropic body. Recognising the Minister’s amendment will make this legal for the first time, I have very...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Inquiry into the Death of Mr. Shane O'Farrell (24 May 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...to the wishes of both Houses of the Oireachtas and establishing a public inquiry, put in place the scoping exercise, which has taken three years to complete. That is in addition to the six years the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, inquiry took to complete. Of the ten and a half years that Shane O'Farrell has been dead, it has been impossible for nine of them to ask a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Equine Welfare: My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue (27 Apr 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...issue that comes up when I speak to local communities who have found a horse in poor condition or dead is that they are passed from pillar to post. They are moved between the local authority, An Garda Síochána and back to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and sometimes they go around in circles. I gather from what the witnesses are saying is that there is...

Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (7 Apr 2022)

Matt Carthy: ...possession. Whatever Judge Haughton is doing in relation to his scoping inquiry, he needs to be let do that but that does not prevent GSOC from providing those reports to the family. In fact, the Garda Commissioner is on the record as saying that these reports have been compiled by GSOC and that publication relates to Mr. Justice MacCabe's organisation alone. My question is, will GSOC...
