Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Events (23 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: It is absolutely mind-boggling this Government has turned down the opportunity to host the World Rally Championships in Kerry, Waterford and Limerick over the next three years. Motorsport Ireland has been forced to decline the invitation due to lack of funding coming from Government. An event screening application was submitted to the Department back in October. We had the chance for a...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (23 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: What is coming down the tracks is that the large cohort of gardaí who attested in the early 1990s will be coming to the end of their natural cycle of employment. There are also the resignations and other retirements that are coming up. It is difficult when the maximum going through is 600 to 700 this year and was 700 last year. To increase to 15,000 may be on the horizon but to...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (23 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: I hear what the Minister is saying with regard to approaching the figure of 15,000. As the Minister knows, the Joint Committee on Justice went to Templemore. Apart from the number attesting, there are about 140 postgraduates undertaking courses there. It has been mentioned to me in passing that Templemore is stuck for space and it is seeking to obtain other venues to carry out more...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Court Accommodation (23 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: My question to the Minister pertains to the built heritage of Tralee town courts service and the future of business in Tralee town centre. Will the Minister provide an update on the upgrading plans, if there are any, for Tralee Courthouse or court facilities?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Court Accommodation (23 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply. The Minister is absolutely correct to say there only two courtrooms in the current building and the plans they have are for four. There has been a big development recently in that An Post has recently obtained planning permission for a sorting depot on the outskirts of Tralee town. All along when we were asking for improved facilities on the existing...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Court Accommodation (23 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: There are two points arising out of the Minister's answer. The first point is the budget for a new courthouse is about €18 million. The Minister referred to €160,000. That is a very small fraction. The second point is that the Minister mentioned the Island of Geese, which is the old Denny factory site right in the centre of town where it is proposed to put the new court...

Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: I commend the families of the Stardust fire on their long and courageous battle for justice in the face of opposition, denial and then negotiations, not just the cold shoulder. That includes Marie Hogan, now Griffin, who did in fact move to County Kerry and who gave crucial evidence at the inquest. The families achieved a stunning victory in establishing the inquest initially and then...

Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024)

Pa Daly: Deputy Haughey made reference to the Kerry Babies case and to the apology that was given after 40 years. However, the apology was worded so that it was unclear exactly what the State was apologising for. Questions still remain to be answered. It has never been explained how five of the same statements which dovetailed were made in five different rooms about an event that science deems...
