- Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Irish Travellers’ Access to Justice Report: Discussion (3 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: Could I stop Dr. Joyce there? When I was a garsún, which was a few years ago, Traveller people moved around. They called to farms – I was on a small farm – and they did seasonal labour. They were welcome, in the main, but that seems to have changed in more recent times. The racism Professor Haynes spoke about seems to have got worse in recent times. In the past,...
- Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Irish Travellers’ Access to Justice Report: Discussion (3 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I will get back to the justice side of it because I have some questions on that as well, but I am looking at the overall societal and sociological situation. Has any research been done in the general population as to why people have such a racist view of Travellers, including in the Garda Síochána? Why are the views of the Garda Síochána and the general population as the...
- Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Irish Travellers’ Access to Justice Report: Discussion (3 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: That particular piece of work is important. A lot of the reaction of politicians comes from the people. I know we also have a duty to lead, but it also comes from below. If there is a rumour, for instance, that a Traveller family is going to be housed in a certain place, we will get a lot of telephone calls. If what Professor Schweppe just said could be focused on and dealt with, that...

David Stanton: I know I do not have much time left but are the witnesses aware of any work undertaken by An Garda Síochána or the courts to improve relationships with the Traveller community? Is anything proactive going on there?
- Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Irish Travellers’ Access to Justice Report: Discussion (3 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I have a final question. We have minority indigenous populations in different parts of the world that have also experienced the kind of discrimination that has been outlined. Are there any examples of best practice in any of those locations that have focused on trying to help or to resolve matters?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I thank the witnesses for their presentations and their work. There has been a powerful contribution from all of the witnesses this morning and we appreciate it. In considering some of the issues that have come up in the past at the committee, we looked at the so-called Portuguese model, and I went there myself 15 years ago and saw what they were doing. They decriminalise small amounts...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Catherine Murphy: I was a member of the previous iteration of this committee. Representatives from the University of Limerick were before us repeatedly. Here we go again. It is a case of "fool me once". We get statements of contrition but I want to see evidence of change. I think it was at the last meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts that we dealt with the issue of the Dunnes Stores site. The...
