On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

Party over time

This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Health Information Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed)

Deputy Naughten, at last we get to you.

Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage

Of course.

Can we restore a bit of order, please?

Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage

I ask the Minister of State to reply to the debate. I advise Members we will be moving quickly on to the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024.

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

To clarify, Minister, it is the use of the term "murder" as distinct from the sentence.

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

It is the use of the word "murder".

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

I think we have two irreconcilable perspectives on this.

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

While I do not wish to get involved in this discussion, what I do not understand is that the Minister is saying that, in the event of a child ageing out and having been found guilty, instead of having a sentence to be handed down or not handed down, it is a matter for the judge to determine in the courts. It is a matter for the judge to determine in accordance, not with statute-----

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

-----as Deputy Howlin is suggesting, but in accordance with common law, should the judge see fit. Is that right?

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

This allows the judge to have discretion in this case.

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

Am I also to understand that because there is a Supreme Court case-----

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

-----there is potential for further changes, and that we are looking at an interim arrangement here, possibly.

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

Further change.

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

Yes.

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

Is Deputy Howlin going to press the amendment?

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

We have an irreconcilable situation.

CC 2024-09-25 · Dail
Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages

I thank the Minister for that, and for that stimulating and important conversation as well.
