Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. 5: In page 24, lines 7 and 8, to delete “as An Garda Síochána” and substitute the following: “only as An Garda Síochána, with no secondary title in the English language for use on any logo or branding by the service,”.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...at the outset, we have worked on previous Bills, which gave effect to similar changes. The Minister is correct on amendments Nos. 26 and 39, which refer to the titles of different ranks in An Garda Síochána. The titles already exist but prominence is given to the English version. Part of the intention of the Official Languages (Amendment) Act, which we are already seeing in...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This is to do with trying to ensure An Garda Síochána does not fall foul of An Coimisinéir Teanga again. An Coimisinéir Teanga reported in 2011 that An Garda Síochána had breached the Garda Síochána Act 2005. He set out how it had done so and then monitored An Garda Síochána for a number of years afterwards until, upon getting frustrated, he...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I acknowledge that since the 2020 report from an coimisinéir, An Garda Síochána has engaged a bit more. However, there are major fault lines in the organisation's approach. Its representatives have been before my committee with the Department of Justice on several occasions due to the outworkings of the rowing back on the Irish language with respect to the minimum standards...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Second Stage (25 Apr 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...agus ansin tá an damáiste déanta. Ní féidir é sin a dheisiú i gceart mar is cloiche móra millteacha atá ann. Ní féidir linn ach oiread dul siar agus an stór stuif a goideadh ón Armada amach ó chósta Ciarraí a fháil ar ais. Nuair a bhí mise óg is cuimhin liom na daoine ag teacht leis na...

Organised Crime: Statements (20 Apr 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ..., including the lieutenants. It took years before we started to see that shift and we have seen some progress. We cannot have areas inside or outside Dublin that do not have a drug squad in the local Garda unit or district which can target these criminal gangs. We have seen exactly what young people are faced with, day in and day out, on their way to school where they see people...

Comóradh Sheachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (9 Mar 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...xe1;n an choimisinéara a roghnófar ansin agus an obair mhór a bheidh ós a comhair nó ós a chomhair. Níl a fhios againn an fear nó bean atá le ceapadh ach tá obair mhór le déanamh ansin. Tá súil agam go mbeimid ar fad ag tabhairt tacaíochta iomláine don té a cheaptar sa phost sin agus ag díriú...

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...; súil agam go ndéanfar athruithe bunaithe ar an méid atá daoine tar éis a rá air agus é ag déanamh a bhealach tríd an Dáil agus tríd an gcoiste. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go bhfuil aon rud a bhaineann leis an nGarda Síochána i gceart, nach ndéanann muid aon bhotúin air agus nach bhfuil muid ag cur...

National Archives Act 1986 (Section 1(2)(d)) Order 2023: Motion (23 Feb 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...decisions were made, etc. Another archive that is not in the National Archives and seems to have gone missing is one that the Minister would be interested in, namely, the Gaeltacht Commission's census that was carried out in 1925. The Garda Síochána went to every town and village and detailed who was an Irish speaker and, strangely enough, how many cattle and sheep they had. We...

Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (9 Feb 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This Bill is long overdue. For far too long, An Garda Síochána has been hampered in its ability to tackle crime. Obviously, and I will come back to this, there is a need for every additional power the Minister gives to An Garda Síochána to be linked to oversight and an understanding of why it is being done and whether it is justifiable. If the Minister reads the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Drug Dealing (19 Jan 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...and delivering cash to different flats as they distribute various drugs such as crack cocaine, cocaine, heroin and e-tabs. You name it, it is available. I, members of Dublin City Council and An Garda Síochána can point to any one of the flats where there has been dealing, yet there does not seem to be any work being done or action being taken. It is like a siege in Dolphin...

Dublin City Safety Initiatives and Other Services: Statements (17 Nov 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...éal dorais fliuch. It is not just in Dublin 8 that there is the sight of those addicted to drugs gathering to score and to shoot up, to beg, plead, steal or whatever is possible to get the price of the next fix. They need help and not to be on the street. They need more rehab beds, supported accommodation, mental health interventions and more. More so, however, they, and we in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (20 Sep 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I agree with the Minister that there is some good work being done by gardaí based in Ballyfermot. I was aware of a number of arrests, but those seven arrests have not quelled the issue and it seems to be continuing unabated. One resident wrote to me today who has set up a WhatsApp group with her mother. She wrote: “We have this group to notify and warn each other if there is a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (20 Sep 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ..., all would have been thinking that it was lucky that there were not multiple victims in hospital, or even in the morgue today. This has been ongoing for a number of weeks and months. The gardaí in the squad car must have been very shook up because it looked as if the criminals were intent on doing serious damage to the car and injury to those inside. It is a pity, however,...
