Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (5 Jul 2022)

Pa Daly: I ask for the Minister's views on the planned reforms to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC. She will have seen the 2021 report it released, which mentions the sustained increase in caseload and its preparations for the expanded mandate.

The powers granted under the Act are a departure from historic common law...

Insurance Reform: Statements (22 Jun 2022)

Pa Daly: ...engage insurance investigators, people who traditionally have great access to information coming from various sources through their contacts, all in an attempt to denigrate the genuine claimants as well as the other ones.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Ban on Sex for Rent Bill 2022: Discussion (21 Jun 2022)

Pa Daly: ...exploitation, takes very many forms and is a spectrum. It was interesting that in Ms Murphy's testimony she said testimony from women previously targeted shows a reluctance of victims to go to An Garda Síochána for various reasons, including a fear they will not be believed.

I gContae na Mí tá an baile Nobber ach is é An Obair an t-ainm ceart ar an mbaile sin. Ba mhór dúinn na téarmacha agus na logainmneacha Gaeilge a chur chun tosaigh...

Garda Síochána (Compensation) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 May 2022)

Pa Daly: .... There may be a number of queries or questions regarding what she said in relation to it. Have there been representations in respect of what she said about the timeframe of 30 days for An Garda Síochána to make an application on behalf of the applicant?

Prüm II Proposal: Motion (26 Apr 2022)

Pa Daly: ...have become increasingly sophisticated, and some of them work in co-operation rather than in competition with each other. This poses great challenges in confronting them. I commend the efforts of An Garda Síochána in tackling large criminal organisations here in combination with other law enforcement agencies, including those in the US, Spain and the UK. There can be no hiding...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (15 Feb 2022)

Pa Daly: ...was a total whitewash and while Joanne Hayes and her family were vindicated through a settlement, there are a number of outstanding issues. One is that the apology did not go far enough. For the gardaí to say the investigation fell far short of the standards of a police investigation must be the understatement of the century. It has never been explained. As their solicitor, Mr....
