- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Guardian Status (26 Sep 2024)
Mick Barry: But the paper was due at the end of September was it not?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Guardian Status (26 Sep 2024)
Helen McEntee: No. What I said was at the end of the year there were recommendations specifically on this. The familicide report does not set how one does this. The Deputy is suggesting that there would be an automatic removal of guardianship. To do that would impact on the cases that I am speaking about. We need to have an understanding of the individual cases. For that we need to change the...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Guardian Status (26 Sep 2024)
Mick Barry: On one brief point, because clarification is needed for families. A paper was promised for the end of September on the guardianship status of convicted killers. It is my understanding that this deadline has not been met. My understanding from the Minister's comments is that it has been pushed out now. Will the Minister clarify this please?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Guardian Status (26 Sep 2024)
Helen McEntee: No, this is not a report that is being undertaken as part of this. It is not mine. This is separate. At the end of the year there will be proposals as to how we enact this specific recommendation from the familicide report. They are two different things. We are not talking about that.

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Citizenship Applications (26 Sep 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: Recently we saw a ceremony for those people who have gained their citizenship. These are very happy occasions and I am sure they are one of the Minister's favourite engagements as Minister. The processing time, however, still seems to be touching upon two years for many and some applications even exceed that. We are talking here about people who are working and playing a huge role in our...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Citizenship Applications (26 Sep 2024)
James Browne: I thank the Deputy for the question on citizenship applications. I am pleased to provide an update to the House on the ongoing improvements being made to the processing of citizenship applications. Just last week, the Minister, Deputy McEntee, had the honour of attending a ceremony in Dublin Convention Centre, and on behalf of myself and the Minister I congratulate all of our newest...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Priorities (26 Sep 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: The Tánaiste confirmed to Newstalk that he felt a number of prosecutions in relation to the Dublin riots were not proceeding fast enough. What are the Minister's views on this?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Priorities (26 Sep 2024)
Helen McEntee: I thank the Deputy. I acknowledge the unbelievable work of the members of An Garda Síochána and those from the many other emergency support services who responded to the appalling scenes last November after the tragic event earlier in the day. There are ongoing investigations into this matter. In the days, weeks and months since those events, 51 people have been arrested. There...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Priorities (26 Sep 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. If there are deficiencies, we all want them dealt with. We accept that major work is being done by gardaí and many others. To come back to where I began with this, I was struck by the Tánaiste's claim that the justice system is not functioning well enough. That is a strange statement, given his own role in facilitating Fine Gael's 13-year...
