Mark Daly: Fianna Fáil would like to thank the Chairman and members of the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality for their support at the launch of the Oireachtas report on the recognition of Irish sign language for the deaf community, which recommends that the Bill put forward by Fianna Fáil, which I hope will come before this House next week, be passed. We are disappointed that in recent...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: The new assistance for first-time buyers will not work. All it will do is make builders richer. If that is the Government's answer to the problem, they do not know the question. Sean Barrett, who is a former Member of this House and a leading economist, has told me it is not a solution to the problem. The problem is supply. We need a better solution to the one that has been put forward....

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: We will not oppose the Order of Business, but we note - it happens in every term - that legislation proposed by Members on both sides of the House is not being progressed in the way it should. I know that the Leader will address the issues we have raised, including corporate manslaughter, the Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016 which he has placed on the Order...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: The alternative to providing the 30 hours of assistance she used to receive, including three hours a day while at work, is that she must be place in residential care which would cost the State ten times as much. I ask that Kifca and all those who are seeing the number of hours being cut receive assistance instead of facing the grim alternative of being placed in care for the rest of their...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. Manus Cooney (5 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: I thank Mr. Cooney for coming to this Chamber. He honours us with his presence. I thank him on behalf of all the undocumented Irish - all 50,000 of them - for his work over the years, tireless work that he did for free on behalf of the Irish at home and abroad, which is not often recognised. However, today we have the opportunity to recognise his work and that of Senator Billy Lawless and...

Seanad: UK Referendum on EU Membership: Statements (5 Oct 2016)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming to the House. The European Union in itself is a peace process; it is probably the longest running peace process in the world and the project has been put in jeopardy by the result of the vote in the United Kingdom. Not only has the project been put in jeopardy but Northern Ireland and the peace process are also in jeopardy. Funding is one clear issue, as is...

Seanad: Address by An Taoiseach (Resumed) (29 Sep 2016)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Taoiseach to the House. He stated that as a result of Brexit, the European Union must prepare for a united Ireland. There is a severe issue between North and South because of Brexit, and it will be detrimental on both sides of the Border if there is not a good result for the UK that could lead to a positive result for Ireland. In many instances, people do not realise there...

Seanad: Address by An Taoiseach (Resumed) (29 Sep 2016)

Mark Daly: Nevertheless, 100 years after the Proclamation we still deny that right to so many people on this island, as well as people born on the island who live in other countries. Imagine that we are almost 190 years after Catholic emancipation and 98 years after giving women the right to vote and yet we still deny votes to one in three citizens born on this island. As part of the reform process we...

Seanad: Address by An Taoiseach (Resumed) (29 Sep 2016)
