Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I would like to briefly bring up a matter on section 29. The Minister of State raised the issue of penalties and this is an issue of concern. The reason there were penalties added to this clause is because there have been cases of unqualified people, sent and paid by interpreting services, going to hospitals, pretending to be interpreters and interpreting for people who are critically ill....

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I move amendment No. 12:In page 18, to delete line 22 and substitute the following: “2018201920202021”. I would like to make a brief comment on the issue of targets for broadcasting. As I mentioned already to Members, and I thank them for their support, the issue with broadcasting is that the current targets are not being met. The targets that we have put in this legislation...

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I move amendment No. 13:In page 5, to delete lines 17 to 28.

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: We will also be putting forward amendments. I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House and I thank all the colleagues for their support. I thank those who spoke on the amendments and I thank Senator Martin Conway who has always been very supportive of the issue of sign language recognition in the past. I and members of the deaf community and colleagues here would be delighted...

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: One month from today.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with European Youth Forum, Education and Training Boards Ireland and Irish Congress of Trade Unions (8 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I thank the witnesses for coming here. It was a very sombre presentation. Has ETBI done costings for a worst case scenario where Irish students were no longer able to go over to Britain? In a worst case scenario where there is a hard Brexit, the impact it might have on the Irish system is frightening. If Irish students were not able to go to England or to the North and there was no...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Implications of Brexit for the Environment: Discussion (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I support the proposal of the Chairman that submissions be made to the Seanad select committee. I am a member of it and that is why I had to leave. We are dealing with Brexit today in the Seanad. If the delegates are making a submission, we are looking for solutions and precedents. If there is a hard border and a hard Brexit, will Northern Ireland continue within the European Economic...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Energy Matters (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I apologise for having to leave. I had to do a radio interview. I thank the delegates for coming. If they have answered the following questions already, I will read the replies in the Official Report. They may have already outlined the costs associated with the Celtic interconnector. Is there a precedent for having such interconnectors, for example, in Cyprus or Greece? Is there an...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Energy Matters (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: The witnesses may have answered this already, but are there precedents in non-EEA European countries? This is a very important part of the role of this committee. We have been asked to come up with the solutions and it is very easy to come up with solutions when one can point to a precedent. Is there anything in Cyprus or Greece to which we can point where there are networks going across...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Energy Matters (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: For example-----

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Energy Matters (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: What is the timeline on the French interconnector in the best-case scenario?

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Energy Matters (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: Everything else is coming through the UK. It is the issue of the transfer-----

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Energy Matters (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: It is not like the Polish precedent where it is going from Poland to a third country. Our problem is that it is coming from Europe to a third country and then to us, so that is the precedent we are looking for. What is the agreement we need to have in place for it to traverse that country? We are all talking about worse-case scenarios here. As we keep being told that no deal is better...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with European Movement Ireland (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: How does the number of our officials in Europe compare with that of other countries such as Denmark? This committee will need to benchmark its recommendations to upscale against other countries. In more than 90% of decisions made in Europe, we and Britain would have voted the same way because our interests were often combined. We obviously will need to stop riding on Britain's coat tails....

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with European Movement Ireland (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: Would Ms O'Connor be able to get those figures for us, showing how many officials we have in Brussels compared with the numbers for other countries? If we are not even matching Denmark, we are tailcoating on Britain's massive civil service presence in Brussels.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Relations between the State and Northern Ireland (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: On behalf of the committee, I thank Dr. Mary Murphy for coming from the department of government in University College Cork. She holds the Jean Monnet Chair in European Integration. She has expertise in a number of areas at which the committee is looking. She was unable to come last week when we discussed the future relations between the State and Northern Ireland and we are delighted that...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Relations between the State and Northern Ireland (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I thank Dr. Murphy for her valuable contribution. The idea of an independent facilitator is something at which we should look as a committee in making a recommendation. The entire peace process was built on the principle that nothing was agreed until everything was agreed. During the Brexit negotiations the parties must agree what they can and what they cannot agree must be left to one...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Relations between the State and Northern Ireland (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I thank Dr. Murphy for her contribution and responses to questions. The committee will take on board her proposals. I thank Senators for their contributions and questions. If Dr. Murphy wishes to add anything at any stage, she should feel free to circulate her ideas to the committee for consideration and inclusion in our final recommendations.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with Dr. Anthony Coughlan (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I thank Dr. Coughlan for coming and giving us his views and some information. It is important for us to hear the views of those who articulate the case for Irexit, regardless of whether we agree with them. The arguments in favour of Ireland leaving the European Union should be heard. One wonders whether we should see how Britain gets on before considering whether to ride on its coat-tails....
