Seanad: Order of Business (7 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: Today marks an extraordinary occasion. It is the 170th anniversary of when the Tricolour was first flown by Thomas Francis Meagher. He is probably the most extraordinary Irishman that most Irish people have never heard about.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: Thomas Francis Meagher not only ran for parliament, unsuccessfully, for Westminster in 1848, he was a leader in the rebellion in Ireland of 1848 for which he was put on trial for high treason.

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2018)

Mark Daly: Ar dtús, déarfaidh mé cúpla focal do Trevor Ó'Clochartaigh ar an ócáid seo. Bhí brón orm nuair a chuala mé an nuacht that Trevor was resigning from the Seanad - on his own terms. Not every person gets to leave office on their own terms. I pay tribute to Trevor for his work on the issue of the diaspora. I have attended many events with him....

Mark Daly: Actually, she is my godchild. The thing about being my godchild is that she is the one who picks the nursing home so, obviously, she is up here on work experience. She is up here on work experience and is having a grand time. We were at the cinema last night. She will be picking my nursing home so everyone should make sure to treat her right.

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (21 Feb 2018)

Mark Daly: We do not accept the claims made in the Government's motion and its record on provision for those with disabilities, but we are happy to support the measures the Government proposes to take, which are outlined in the latter half of the motion, along with Senator Dolan's amendments. As we all know, people who have disabilities face discrimination in terms of housing, transport and many other...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Legacy Issues Affecting Victims and Relatives in Northern Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Feb 2018)

Mark Daly: I will be brief as I have to go to another meeting. The 150 paramilitary deaths since the Good Friday Agreement are obviously of concern. Have these deaths occurred because a lot of the infrastructure remains in place and is being allowed to remain in place for the sake of, one cannot say "peace", but perhaps stability? How much funding is required? One can set up all the infrastructure...

I do not want to go further on it; I just...

Mark Daly: It is in Cork.

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Feb 2018)

Mark Daly: It is Cork University Hospital. It happens time and again. The paramedics are sitting around with acute-care patients sitting in the ambulances waiting to be handed over. It is a pure systems failure. Meanwhile people are in dire need waiting for an ambulance to come to them. That is a systems failure that needs to be rectified. It does not require money; it just requires improved...
