Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: I have one or two questions for Ms Ansbro to start. One of the ICCL's recommendations is to remove all prosecutorial powers from An Garda Síochána. Does that include the decision whether or not to prosecute and consideration of the evidence in a case? Does the ICCL mean all the way down to the District Court, that is, that all District Court offences would be prosecuted by, say,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: ...oversight in the Six Counties? Did Commissioner Harris notice a difference in the culture or in prosecuting? Does he think the ICCL's suggestion to remove all prosecutorial powers from An Garda Síochána might be a good idea to free up gardaí for policing work?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: ...difference in the culture between the North and this jurisdiction. Commissioner Harris mentioned in his opening statement investigations by GSOC going on for years without any obligation to inform Garda employees. It is kind of similar to some of the debate that has come from the mid-west area recently in that investigations are going along for a long time. Given some of the recent...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Pa Daly: I have a final question for the Garda Inspectorate. On the replacement for GSOC and giving it more powers to conduct investigations into Garda personnel, the Garda Commissioner expressed concerns about possible breaches of human rights that could be disproportionate, unconstitutional and unable to withstand a test in the courts. What is the inspectorate's view on that?

EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement: Motion (21 Sep 2021)

Pa Daly: ...as part of the normal course of events. However, not everyone who comes into contact with police is guilty of any offence. These databases should be strictly supervised. We can all agree that the Garda PULSE system was not strictly supervised for a long time. It should have had regular audits and been accessed only in accordance with the law. We also need to remain conscious of...

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

Pa Daly: ...questions. I apologise if this has been dealt with as I was in the Chamber. When does the Department anticipate that the code of practice will be available? On the recording of the devices on Garda body cams, will an independent record be kept of the time the recording commenced and when it stopped? Following on from some of the comments made by the Policing Authority about the access...

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

Pa Daly: On my second question on the independent record, will the most up-to-date technology be used on the recording machinery? In the past, I have found that the recording systems inside Garda stations, for example, have been almost out of date by the time they have been installed. It is important that there would be very up-to-date recording machinery. On the first question, does the...

Post Office Network: Motion [Private Members] (7 Jul 2021)

Pa Daly: .... In the Listowel-north County Kerry area we have seen the threat to the SouthDoc service, the removal of dental services, the closure of the Courts Service office and now the removal of a Garda superintendent from the area.

Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (30 Jun 2021)

Pa Daly: The intent of this Bill, which thankfully is time-limited, is welcome, not just for addressing a legal lacuna that was pointed out by An Garda Síochána but in giving certainty to the hospitality sector.
