Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: ...powers are available and will be operationalised by An Garda Síochána. Gardaí will, for example, now be able to go into people's gardens and remove scramblers. They can be removed and destroyed, so they will not be going back out on the streets. I ask the Commissioner to keep going with that work.

Vote 21 - Prisons (15 Feb 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: One would imagine that if somebody was deliberately destroying their passport with the intention of claiming asylum under a new application name or for whatever reason, that is the next step. They will claim asylum. Of the 5,800 who were refused leave to land, how many went on to claim asylum?

Paul McAuliffe: ...comments in context - the people to whom I refer. I am trying to debunk some of the concerns regarding a person who committed a crime and is being sought by the police in another country and who destroys his or her passport on arrival here. When that person presents, he or she will be fingerprinted and his or her details will be referenced against Eurodac.

Maureen Penrose, who has been involved in the National Family Support Network for many years, spoke about the impact of drugs on her family and how it had destroyed the lives of many people. She said we should be treating this as an emergency because the current system is destroying many people’s lives and we are...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: ...powers to ensure bikes can be seized from the curtilage of the property and bringing in a new classification of vehicles and so on. That is very welcome. As a first-time Deputy, it is a bit soul destroying that the Minister, along with the Taoiseach and others, agreed that at Cabinet in January 2021 and we have not yet passed the legislation through the House. I encourage the Minister...

Paul McAuliffe: ...boy with special needs who suffered two broken legs, and the many people who have died. Illegally driven scrambler bikes make many parks and other green spaces too dangerous for people to enjoy and destroy facilities relied on by sports clubs. Their use involves antisocial behaviour, the movement of illegal drugs and organised crime. It presents a real challenge to order in our...
