Helen McEntee: I stress that the Supreme Court did not take issue with the fact that the Minister has the ability and should have the right to revoke citizenship. It is about the manner in which it is done and making sure those extra layers and protections are in place. It is important that we push forward with this amendment and that this safeguard is put in place in response to the ruling. The manner...
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Thomas Pringle: On the Minister's response to my query about why now, are we to take it that it is pure coincidence? It was not clear what the Minister said. Is it that this was basically prepared and ready, sitting in the Department for years, and the Minister just decided to put it into the Bill now because this is a miscellaneous provisions Bill and she wanted to throw something into it? Alternatively,...
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Helen McEntee: On workload, there are probably 100 pieces of legislation I could bring at any given time, such is the Department of Justice. Some are larger pieces of work, while others are amendments of this kind that come from different rulings. There is no rule as to how certain elements should be put into miscellaneous provisions Bills. Insofar as possible, it is prudent and important that Ministers...
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Brendan Howlin: On amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 3, I am disappointed the Minister is not accepting even the amendments to the amendment, as opposed to the general view from this side of the House that she might delay. If this proposal had been fleshed out and ready to go, it would have been included in the published Bill from the start. It arrived after the Bill had been published and after the Second...

Helen McEntee: To suggest that there could potentially be 2,000 people next year-----
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Brendan Howlin: I do not say 2,000. I said two dozen.
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Helen McEntee: Two dozen. Apologies. This is not something that will be applied where I or any other Minister think that somebody is not our kind of person. The reasons a person would have his or her citizenship revoked are clear. The ruling obviously took issue with the safeguards which the court feels are not there at the moment, for the reasons outlined, that, irrespective of whether the committee...
