Seanad: Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign: Motion (30 Nov 2016)

Mark Daly: A meeting would allow the situation to be clarified. It would put the Bank of Ireland under pressure. It would also put pressure back on financial institutions or other organisations that might follow a similar route. The risk of being brought before an Oireachtas committee could act as a deterrent. There is not a lot between the two motions. I like outcomes and the best outcome for us...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Ms Nicola Sturgeon (29 Nov 2016)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Scottish First Minister. One hundred years ago Ireland was continuing on its long road to independence following the 1916 Rising. I hope Scotland's journey to independence will not take 100 years. The nationalism espoused by Vladimir Putin, Marine Le Pen and Donald Trump is corrosive, but the civic nationalism espoused by the Scottish First Minister - fairness, progressive...

Seanad: Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (29 Nov 2016)

Mark Daly: I second the amendment.

Seanad: Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (29 Nov 2016)

Mark Daly: I second the amendment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Statement of Strategy: Motion (3 Nov 2016)

Mark Daly: I am proposing: "That the Department of Foreign and Trade's Statement of Strategy 2015-2017 will include Ireland's position of neutrality as a strong core value of the State and of the Irish people." This relates to the statement of strategy, which members will have gone through. It makes no reference to Ireland's position of neutrality. I got a reply from the Department before I thought...

Seanad: Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (Hague Convention) Bill 2016: Second Stage (27 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House and I welcome the Bill. We are happy to support the Bill, its aim and its intent. Obviously, we hope it is not something that would ever have to be directly applied in Ireland. That said, we are happy to support other colleagues in other jurisdictions where the cultural property of armed conflict has been vandalised or stolen. I have a question relating...

Seanad: Corporate Manslaughter (No. 2) Bill 2016: Second Stage (26 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I thank the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality for coming to the House today. If one was to dedicate this Bill to anyone it would be to the 1,600 people who contracted hepatitis C as a result of the actions and inaction of the blood transfusion service. In 2005 the Law Reform Commission identified a serious gap in Irish...

Seanad: Corporate Manslaughter (No. 2) Bill 2016: Second Stage (26 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: It was extraordinary high. Let us suppose I was able to inform those in senior management that, under corporate manslaughter legislation, if that equipment failed, they would go to jail. I imagine that while such people would not have the interests of the people on the high seas in their hearts, they most certainly would have the interests of not going to jail in their hearts. This is the...

Seanad: Corporate Manslaughter (No. 2) Bill 2016: Second Stage (26 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for her response. I know that she was on this side of the House many times when that side of the House shot down very worthwhile legislation that was being proposed simply because she was on this side of the House. I am glad that as a result of the new politics, we are not habitually shooting down legislation regardless of where it is proposed.The benchmark on the...

Seanad: Corporate Manslaughter (No. 2) Bill 2016: Second Stage (26 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: They are well known individuals and we are allowed to refer to court cases, especially this one, which failed the Irish people. The Law Reform Commission report referred to the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and its legislation took into account that Act. The Bill we have brought forward also takes much of it into account. The benchmark is whether people in senior management...

Seanad: Corporate Manslaughter (No. 2) Bill 2016: Second Stage (26 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: In ten weeks.

Seanad: Corporate Manslaughter (No. 2) Bill 2016: Second Stage (26 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: We will say next Tuesday, but in reality it will be in ten weeks' time. It will be at the end of January.

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: Can the Chair clarify the matter?

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: A schoolboy error.

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: Do.

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: Will the Leader consider scheduling sittings of the House next week given that we are back only four weeks? A newspaper in his native Cork pointed out yesterday that in the first three weeks we were back, we had 33 hours and 30 minutes of statements.Much of that was on Brexit, which is being dealt with by a number of committees and in the Dáil, but we have only spent eight hours and 15...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Implications for Good Friday Agreement of UK EU Referendum Result: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: When one considers the agricultural community voting against its best interests, considering the financial benefit of EU payments and then the Northern Ireland Assembly voting yesterday that they should not be taken as a special case - terminology and language being very important - it beggars belief that people are continuing to vote against their own best interests. I think the witnesses...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: The Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade and Defence met this morning in the Dáil Chamber. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Statement of Strategy 2015-2017 refers to strengthening our influence in the EU, to the United Nations and so on but makes no mention of Irish neutrality, which is worrying in the context of the EU's relentless progress towards militarisation....

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: Is the Senator saying we are not young? That is very disappointing.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs and Trade Issues: Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (20 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister. This has been a wide-ranging discussion. We have spent an inordinate amount of time on Brexit but, to keep it on the agenda at every opportunity and emphasise the fact that the EU is its own peace process, I note we have an ongoing peace process in Northern Ireland. By any measure, Brexit has a destabilising effect on it. Regarding the issue of Palestinians,...
