Mark Daly: We are speaking about governance.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: One of the issues of governance is the audit risk committee's performance and practice. Chapter 4 states the Department ensures that risk and performance are adequately managed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: I am asking about an issue in the public sphere that people are talking about, which has huge potential risk if not properly managed. I could not be in front of a more appropriate group of people. I want to ask the audit risk committee a question on an issue in the public sphere, which everyone from the British Prime Minister-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: This is not a political speech.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: The reason I am asking this here is because we are speaking about governance and the person in charge of the risk committee is present at the meeting. I am asking about a governance issue to do with something that has huge potential risk if not properly managed. Policy neglect seldom goes unpunished. The three questions I have are to confirm it is not on the risk register, to ask whether...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: I do not mind whether the Secretary General or Mr. O'Leary answers. It is a specific question on this issue.

Mark Daly: I am happy for either to answer.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: I agree with the Chairman that the issue of a united Ireland is primarily for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. It would affect the Departments of Health, Education and Skills, Housing, Planning and Local Government and Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It would have an impact across the entire remit of Government, but it could not be more broad ranging in its impact in the areas...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: I have asked only three questions about governance and the risk committee. Is the issue on the register? Was it discussed and, if not, why not?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: It is, but it is related to my original point that the Minister or politicians were not allowed to interfere with the Department when it came to issues that it felt were too sensitive. The role of the Department, the public service and the permanent government - thankfully sometimes - is to highlight issues that are uncomfortable for politicians to address for political reasons. I have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: I understood the issue was germane to the risk committee, which is why I asked the question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: My colleague, Deputy Browne, has raised the issue of Rosslare Harbour, which seems to be stuck in a transjurisdictional quagmire between ourselves and the company in England which also has part ownership of it. Is there a long-term plan to make sure it is in the entire control of the Department and the agencies under its control? I ask Mr. Doyle to forgive me regarding the previous question...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: Has there been any progress on getting the ownership issue resolved?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Corporate Governance Framework of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: We will ask all members to visit County Kerry also. If Eamon de Valera had done his work, we would perhaps have got Berehaven, Cobh, Lough Swilly and Rosslare. It was an oversight. We might resolve the issue.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Drugs Crime (20 Dec 2018)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Catherine Byrne, for coming to the House. Councillor Paul McAuliffe has asked that the Taoiseach would come and see for himself the effects of crack cocaine use in Ballymun, which reached a crisis point this summer. He wants a cross-departmental task force to be organised to address the issue. Over the past year there has been an increase in crime,...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Drugs Crime (20 Dec 2018)

Mark Daly: I realise the Minister could not be here and I appreciate the Minister of State coming in on her behalf. The Minister of State outlined the issues around the funding and purpose of the Ballymun Regional Youth Resource and the Poppintree Youth Project. However, we were talking about restoring funding to 2008 levels, whereas the Minister of State referred to the funding available in 2011,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Returning Irish Emigrants: Discussion (29 Nov 2018)

Mark Daly: I apologise for having to leave to attend another meeting. I thank our guests for all their work. I realise that my colleagues have asked a lot of questions and I ask our guests to feel free to point out if I ask one which has already been posed. I will refer to the minutes. The Minister of State, Deputy Cannon, has done a great deal of work in the review. I refer to the implementation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Returning Irish Emigrants: Discussion (29 Nov 2018)

Mark Daly: I ask Mr. King to send me a note on the matter and I will request that the Oireachtas Library and Research Service look into it. Some 95% of laws enacted in Ireland each year are EU regulations and directives. The Minister has the power to amend those regulations. The answer might be to outline to the Minister that all that is required is for him to sign a statutory instrument to extend...
