Pa Daly: In general I would be slow to agree to any additional legislation unless it is absolutely necessary and I am glad a sunset clause has been introduced in this Bill so that, in nine or ten weeks, the provisions will lapse. It seems that publicans are being singled out nationally and there is not the same rush in the media and with legislators to identify the real outbreaks over the past...

Civil Law and Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (30 Jul 2020)

I also think there is a serious problem with closing the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Education Data (30 Jul 2020)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for her reply but I am disappointed. Particular concerns have been raised by parents of children with special needs.
