Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...cannot remember the name of the case, but it concerned the change from the Kenny rule on the admissibility of evidence obtained incorrectly.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...can all access and use. On my point regarding the enforcement of court orders generally, we do not have a similar structure for domestic violence orders. We have an ad hocsystem, in which the Garda is dependent on having a court order and having access to it. It does not work in the same way. I flag this issue because of the amount of time we spend on this issue. We have the...

Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 Dec 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...Christmas period is the use by perpetrators of welfare checks to continue to exert control.
