Thomas Pringle: I wanted to ask a quick question of the Minister, if I can. The Damache judgment was in October 2020. We are now in July 2024. The Minister said that these Bills come up at a certain time and have to be dealt with. What actually happened between October 2020 and now, that it could not come up before this? I wonder what the situation is on that. It is obviously not rushed or urgent...
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Brendan Howlin: As I said, this is a hotchpotch of a Bill because it deals with everything from broadcasting, to the Department of public expenditure with regard to pensions, to revocation of citizenship under the 1956 Act. Some things are proper to an end-of-term miscellaneous provisions discussion, things that we all agree should be done, and there will not be any suitable vehicle coming through. ...

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...

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...

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....
