Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (10 Jul 2024)

Seán Canney: We need to pay them another visit when we are finished here, maybe to get money for disabilities. I thank the Minister of State for coming in. I will not detain her. My questioning will not be too long. I believe that in trying to do everything right, we still are struggling to get the basics right. I can see it on a day--to-day basis - I am sure the Minister of State can and every...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (10 Jul 2024)

Seán Canney: We know that. The Minister of State said she chaired a workforce planning group. I do not know what the purpose of that group is. This is where I am getting at. We have to get around what is wrong. We know what is wrong. I believe the day of reckoning is coming. It happened in Tuam where the parents, when they got into a forum, realised what way they were all being treated. They...

Jim O'Callaghan: I did not intend to speak on this amendment but I will do so because a very interesting debate has commenced since I came into the Chamber. I came in here intending to speak on amendments Nos. 7 to 12, inclusive, which seek to give effect to another High Court decision - in the case of A & B v. the International Protection Office and the Minister - which was delivered in March of...

Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: We are three years on from the Damache case, in which the Supreme Court declared sections 19(2) and 19(3) of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 to be unconstitutional. We sat on it for quite some time. The Supreme Court provided some form of instruction to this House in terms of what to do. The Supreme Court decision said and recognised that the decision as to whether...

Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: There has been considerable delay in giving effect to the decision in the Damache case. The circumstances of Demache made quite a significant case. Another matter that needs to be emphasised is that it certainly must be the case that the Government - the Executive - must be entitled to decide whether revocation of naturalisation is permitted. I listened to the points that Deputy Howlin...

Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)

Helen McEntee: I thank the Deputies for all of their contributions across a variety of issues. At the outset, I have some issues to address. We discussed this last week in terms of the miscellaneous Bill. Throughout the year we have all collectively across the House worked on different Bills and pieces of legislation. Naturally, the way a miscellaneous Bill comes together is that, even with all of the...

Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)

Pa Daly: This is a liquorice allsorts type of Bill. Some of it is very straightforward but it covers the broadcasting Bill and legislation on personal injuries, firearms and international protection. It proposes reducing the years of experience required to be a member of the tribunal from five years to two. Having been someone who was two years out from being a qualified solicitor, I have concerns...

Catherine Connolly: I do not know how many times I will get to speak tonight so I will speak on this amendment now. I thank Deputy Howlin for his forensic outlining of what is behind the amendment. I listened to him carefully. Having left the Chair, I walked around to get back into the mode of TD so that I would not confuse my role. When this came before us last week, I expressed my serious concerns at what...

Gerald Nash: I want to speak to the section as well. Before I do, however, I will raise some concerns I have about the way in which the Minister is approaching the question of the increase in optional retirement ages for members of uniformed services. I too place on the record my concerns about the manner in which the Minister is approaching this matter, which is extremely acute and extremely sensitive....
