- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2017)
Mark Daly: Before I begin, I welcome the members of Clare County Council who are in the Visitors Gallery. They are here on business on behalf of their constituents. We are delighted to see them in our temporary home. As we know from the Dáil Chamber, the National Gallery was told that it would only be taken temporarily, but the Dáil has been there for nearly 100 years. When the councillors...

- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2017)
Mark Daly: I would like the record to be amended to show that the Leas-Chathaoirleach has welcomed the visitors first. I will come second in the order.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2017)
Mark Daly: On behalf of my Fianna Fáil Seanad colleagues, we look forward to meeting the visitors later in another piece of the building that was temporarily acquired from the National Gallery, which is the Dáil bar, and has become a permanent home for some. We will consider this matter later at the leaders' meeting but, instead of having statements, could we debate the reports published by...

Mark Daly: -----no time has been allocated for it. Others Members have tabled Bills that would make a difference to people's lives. All we are taking here, like the other House, is statements. Statements do not change the world. Legislation changes people's lives and we need to pass some. It was remiss of me to usurp the Leas-Chathaoirleach in welcoming our colleagues from Clare County Council.

- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Oct 2017)
Mark Daly: Today our sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with those who were killed in the mass shooting in Las Vegas. To their families and friends we send our heartfelt condolences. What happened in Las Vegas, as is often the case, is a failure of politics to regulate and control the ownership of guns. Whatever about the constitution of the United States of America, the fact that families have...

- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Oct 2017)
Mark Daly: I ask the Deputy Leader to organise a debate on our Defence Forces and the fact we are spending a massive amount of money on equipment and a new naval ship that we do not have enough personnel to man. We do not have enough personnel in the Naval Service to keep all our ships at sea at any one time. We do not have enough personnel to man our Air Corps aircraft. We do not have enough...

Mark Daly: We are not rare at all. There are quite a number of us around the place.

Mark Daly: I thank the Cathaoirleach, Martin Groves, Bridget Doody and all the staff for their assistance here in what will be our old Chamber. Hopefully, we will all get back in, including Senator Leyden. Hopefully, he will not need the wills Bill any time soon.
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2017)
Mark Daly: Please God, it will be passed at some stage. In respect of the horrific attack over the weekend, we must look at the issue of electronic tagging because there is provision for people who are out on bail to be electronically tagged. Believe it or not, that legislation is over ten years old, yet it has never been enacted. The provision for it to happen has never been enacted. We must also...

- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jul 2017)
Mark Daly: I thank all Senators, including the Sinn Féin Senators and Deputy Ó Caoláin, who is Chairman of the Oireachtas Committee on Justice and Equality which subjected this issue to pre-legislative scrutiny. Following this pre-legislative scrutiny, the committee's report highlighted the fact that the members of the deaf community suffer from extreme marginalisation because of their...
- Seanad: Order of Business (13 Jul 2017)
Mark Daly: We want to support the motion in regard to the Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016. We had a very positive engagement with the Minister and the Department yesterday over five hours. I thank Senators for their support on this issue. In regard to the summer economic statement, while I know we are having discussions on it, I want to touch on the issue of...
