Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dairying Industry.
Would the Minister say if it is intended to publish the report at once?
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kerry Gárda Office Transfer.
asked the Minister for Justice if he will state whether it is the intention to transfer the office of superintendent of the Gárda Síochána from Cahirciveen to Waterville; and, if so, if he will state...
Do I understand that because the superintendent cannot find a house in Cahirciveen, the whole of his office and all the work connected with it is going to be transferred to Waterville?
Are local interests in Cahirciveen to be put in the position that the facilities they had at that office, which was in their midst for decades past, are to be withdrawn, and that the office is to be t...
It only means the transfer of the superintendent and the two clerks? Is the actual work of the district headquarters office to be left in Cahirciveen?
Does the Minister understand that, as well as having the opinion of the Commissioner on the matter, there are local interests whose opinions should be consulted and, if the office has not already been...
Committee on Finance. - Vote 3.—Department of the Taoiseach (Resumed).
During the war?
Did the Taoiseach say that agricultural products had increased in the last five years?
Between what years?
That is a scandalous statement.
It is a scandalous statement to make with regard to a Deputy of Deputy McGilligan's responsibility.
If we were all to give our opinions as intemperately as the Taoiseach has done, this would be a nice Assembly.
I wish to protest against the statement made here that a responsible Deputy on the Front Bench, in making certain statements, was trying to cause all the damage he could.
I hope it will dawn on the Government some day.
Committee on Finance. - Emergency Powers (Continuance and Amendment) Bill, 1945—Committee.
Would the Ceann Comhairle say in what form separate decisions could be taken on amendments Nos. 2, 3 and 4?
My point is that if the question put on Deputy Dillon's amendment No. 1 be “that the words proposed to be deleted, stand part of the Bill” there will be no opportunity of taking a separate decision on...
I quite realise the position. We shall have to proceed as best we can, but in the debate I should like as much help as you can give me in segregating the idea of public safety or the preservation of ...
I should like to address myself to the subject matter of amendment No. 2 in which reference is made to the public safety. I am concerned to know what elements there are in the present situation in re...
It was in the original Act, in September, 1939, when you got it.
What are the facts now?
Section 2 (2) (p)?
The Taoiseach probably realises that I could bandy irrelevancies with him just as well as he could do it himself, but that is not what I want to do. I resent being told I am fighting a rearguard acti...
I have up to the present addressed myself only to amendment No. 2 in relation to public safety because, as I indicated, I wanted to make it perfectly clear, both for our information and to ease the pu...
Before Deputy Dillon finishes, may I say that, on the assumption that the Taoiseach is going to accept my amendment, the Deputy allowed his imagination to wander through the recesses of my mind? On t...
And will he tell us what are the things the Taoiseach is likely to say as reasons for refusing to accept my amendment?
I am afraid that the purpose of the Chair in trying to save time, and the purpose that I had in putting down amendments Nos. 2, 3 and 4, have been very badly served by discussing them all together. I...
May I ask, in relation to amendment No. 4 where I asked for the deletion to the reference to the maintenance of public order, what is the basis for requiring the continuance of emergency legislation, ...
It is the width of the thing I object to.
Do we require emergency powers for that, to-day?
Surely the Taoiseach realises that it is the wide nature of the idea of public order on the one hand and the relationship between public order and public disorder on the other that makes me raise this...
Well, what about transport?
Are we going to have to live under an Act which completely abrogates our whole Constitution because we have to queue up for transport which is, I suppose, a bit scarcer than when we had not to queue u...
If the three things I put down there were eliminated, the Government, no matter how much we might object to it, would still have full power under the Emergency Powers Acts to deal with all matters in ...
I move amendment No. 6:— In sub-section (1), after paragraph (b), line 41, to insert a new paragraph as follows:— “(c) by the insertion in paragraph (j) after the word ‘persons’ where it twice occurs,...
It does, but, in submitting the amendment, I submitted it subject to the weakness we all understand exists in that section and also subject to all the strength that the Taoiseach is insisting exists i...
Do not oppose it.
I take it that we will all be satisfied to have the amendment accepted, and if the Taoiseach, Deputy Dillon or Deputy Costello find any weakness in it they can put down an additional amendment on Repo...
Whatever about Section 2 (2) of the original Act, and all we have said about it, if we leave it as it is there will be a statement, whatever it may turn out to be that the law courts will read that th...
Let them use the other statute.
No, Sir. I move amendment No. 7:— In sub-section (1), after paragraph (b), line 41, to insert a new paragraph as follows:— (c) by the insertion in paragraph (m) after the word “persons” of the words...
I move amendment No. 8: In sub-section (1), after paragraph (b), line 41, to insert a new paragraph as follows:— (c) by the insertion in paragraph (o) after the word “persons” where it first occurs of...
It is the same thing applying to the searching of persons in circumstances or by persons specified or indicated in such Emergency Order. That is, I think that the power to authorise or provide for th...
Yes. Amendment No. 8 agreed to.
I move amendment No. 9:— In sub-section (1), after paragraph (b), line 41, to insert a new paragraph as follows:— (c) by the deletion of paragraph (p).
No, Sir. There may be something in what the Taoiseach says, that some of the Orders in existence actually do amend certain statutes, and I can understand that as far as certain aspects of the supply...
Not necessarily.
Yes, if amendments will be accepted up to lunch time to-morrow. The only amendment, from my point of view, likely to be put in would be one to insert in a positive way those things that were agreed t...
It would convenience me very much if the Parliamentary draftsman would do it. What I intended to do was to put down an amendment inserting the new amendments, so that the Bill would read:— “Nothing i...
It is understood, then, that the Government will put in these amendments.
Then I will do so, in order to safeguard the particular position and if the Parliamentary draftsman, understanding my intention, thinks he had better put in his own draft, both amendments could appea...
