Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Deputy Leader for outlining the business of the House. I wish to raise the issue of insurance, the Government's inaction on it and any proposals it might have to ensure people are paying the correct amount for insurance and that insurance companies are not price gouging and price fixing, which is a concern we all share given the stark increase in the cost of insurance over the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the delegation for coming in and I congratulate them and the team on their great success, which was not achieved without great sacrifice. Being an Olympian is an honour bestowed on very few, no matter what the result. I am delighted to hear of a hockey team using a GAA pitch. It is not something that is provided for in the rules of the association. Kenmare had a hockey team for a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: It was raised in a discussion on cricket. I do not think it should be an issue. This is a unique situation so I do not believe it should be required. It would be a tragedy if someone decided not to take up the passport because of an issue. I do not think players should be required to do so in this situation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I know the European Cricket Council has the requirement. Cricket Ireland does not want the requirement. It is something that perhaps the committee should consider for the other 64 bodies. Parent bodies have different rules and regulations. The requirement to have an Irish passport to play for the Irish hockey team should not apply because of the unique circumstances in Ireland. We should...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I have seen this in Kerry affecting women's Gaelic football. One might say that soccer, hockey, rugby, Gaelic football and hurling are competing sports. However, within each of those sports, women are being treated unequally for facilities, training time, pitch access etc. to the point where women often have to use inferior pitches. Is that something the women's hockey players are coming...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and Mr. John Treacy will be before us in a week to discuss the issue of pensions. Perhaps we could ask them to outline their proposals for the Government on Sport Ireland and pensions for high-performance athletes and Olympians. I have heard about pensions from the rowers and everybody else. Collectively, there are a lot of people involved. We...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I want to bring that in when we are considering my correspondence.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: The request relating to the Coast Guard ties in with the report on the tragic accident that befell Rescue 116. I previously dealt with senior management in the Coast Guard about the stations at Malin Head and Valentia Island and a previous draft report, referred to as the Feron report, which contained scathing criticism of senior management in the Irish Coast Guard service was uncovered by...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: In order that senior management in the Coast Guard can see us coming, we should ask them to forward the Feron report and the draft report. That way, they can highlight what was taken out. I went through it line by line.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: It is referred to as the Feron report.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I hope members of the committee are happy with that. My other correspondence relates to the RSA and a matter that was raised by road hauliers. The Committee of Public Accounts is also examining that matter but, given it concerns the RSA, it also falls under the remit of this committee. I did not realise the RSA has €25 million in the bank. That is a serious amount. It has...
