Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2024-07-10
============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

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 this year. The purpose of amendment No. 3 appears to be to give statutory effect to the decision of the Supreme Court in the Damache case, to which the Deputy Howlin referred earlier. It is important to note that this decision was delivered in early 2021.
