Dept of Justice officials told the committee this Head 3 section refers to a function as opposed to a power. @tjmcintyre.com highlights that the powers under Head 7 (to block access and issue an internet death penalty) do not require a court order or independent oversight. (11/15)

Finally, watch @tjmcintyre.com recommend to the committee that, moving forward, the sections of the Bill that are not required under NIS2 should be dropped to allow for the straightforward transposition of NIS2 and then the State can consider what else is necessary. (15/15)
Watch @tjmcintyre.com explain why having no definition of 'national security' anywhere in Irish law means this could lead the NCSC to have a very open-ended power, left to the discretion of the Minister, to order the surveillance of the communications of everyone in the State. (9/15)
He also explains how Head 9 would allow the NCSC to compel communications providers, such as WhatsApp and iMessage, to install surveillance devices on their networks to scoop up metadata of every user of the service on the basis of ‘national security’. (7/15)
Watch @tjmcintyre.com tell the committee how Head 6 would allow the NCSC to scan any publicly accessible network or information system for vulnerabilities - without their knowledge or consent - including small businesses, NGOs, homes, or politicians’ offices. (3/15)
Watch @tjmcintyre.com explain how Head 7 would give the NCSC very wide powers to block access to websites and how 8 would give it the unprecedented power to scan and store the entirety of the network traffic in public sector bodies, which could include the contents of politicians’ emails. (5/15)
Here @tjmcintyre.com explains why it’s so problematic that the Bill is putting the NCSC - which is being given very broad powers - under the direct political control of the Minister. (14/15)
Our Executive Director Joe O'Brien appeared on @rteradio1.bsky.social yesterday and raised some of our concerns about the Minister for Justice's plans to change criminal legal aid. @lawsocietyireland.bsky.social
Emily Williams, ICCL’s Policing & Justice Policy Officer, spoke to RTÉ yesterday about the death of Mr Yves Sakila. We are very concerned about the disproportionate and excessive use of force and are calling for swift, thorough and transparent investigations by An Garda Síochána and Fiosrú.
While ICCL broadly welcomes The Garda Powers Bill, we are concerned that there are no definitions of specific types of searches or what rank of gardaí is can authorise each type; insuficient record of stop and searches; and there is insufficient protection of journalistic privilege.

Eine Regierungserklärung von Ministerpräsident Markus Söder! Mal schauen, worum es gehen wird. Übrigens: Normalerweise kann man im Bayerischen Landtag bei Debatten Zwischenbemerkungen machen, also dem Redner nach dessen Rede noch eine Frage stellen. (1/2)
Das war los am 2. Juli 2025 im Bayerischen Landtag! 💪🌻 Herr Söder, wie will Ihre Regierung Kommunen unterstützen? Wie stärke Sie die Kitas? Wann verdienen Bürger*innen bei Windkraftanlagen in ihren Gemeinden endlich mit? Er hätte es erklären können. Hat er aber nicht. 🤷♂️ #bayern #grüne #söderisst

Latest weather models show even warmer air over Ireland for early next week and we could see 25c possible. Good sunny spells from Sunday too but very uncertain yet if it will last for June bank holiday.
No one ever says 'I fired them too soon.' Hard decisions don't get easier with time. They get heavier. In 2026, speed of decision is the differentiator. You probably already know what needs to happen next. I know I do.

Typowe zasięgi dronów światłowodowych to ponad 50 kilometrów. Przykładowo, drony wykorzystywane przez Siły Zbrojne Ukrainy są w stanie operować na dystansie około 41 km. Należy jednak pamiętać, że w przypadku bardziej zaawansowanych eksperymentów, teoretyczny zasięg mógłby sięgnąć nawet 1000 km.

My GOP colleagues are petrified about November because Trump has taken away every possible argument that GOP reps could make to their constituents. And the worst part is, he doesn't even seem to care. Democrats will win back Congress, and I’ll lead the effort to hold this fascist accountable.
