- Seanad: Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (1 Jul 2015)
Mark Daly: The reason I raised the issue is because decommissioning of petroleum infrastructure is mentioned in the legislation. The Minister of State said that the guarantee is given by a parent company. The problem with companies is that they can become insolvent. The reason we put in place the requirement for a bond in respect of the construction of housing estates is to ensure a third party...
- Seanad: Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (1 Jul 2015)
Mark Daly: I move amendment No. 6: In page 22, line 32, to delete "not exceeding €3,000,000".This is a simple amendment which deals with an issue we discussed previously.I do not know why we would limit a fine for non-compliance associated with oil and gas extraction to €3 million, which I am not saying is an insignificant sum. If the cost of any related issue, such as clean-up, is...
- Seanad: Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (1 Jul 2015)
Mark Daly: I move amendment No. 9: In page 27, line 15, to delete "and no later than 24 hours" and substitute "within 180 minutes".The amendment relates to what seems like an inordinate delay in the time allowed for the commission to be informed about any immediate danger or risk to human health in relation to a petroleum incident. The Bill provides for a timeframe of "no later than 24 hours". As I...
- Seanad: Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (1 Jul 2015)
Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for the reply. I would like to know what other European countries have done in this regard, because the provision was for 24 hours. Did all of the other member states provide for the maximum allowed time? Twenty-four hours is merely an arbitrary figure.There is a phenomenon in management known as the anchoring trap. If a figure of 24 hours is provided for...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Amnesty International Annual Report 2014 (1 Jul 2015)
Mark Daly: An interesting document entitled "How the State Should Approach the Issue of Torture" came from a civil servant in the then Department of Foreign Affairs in 1974, in which he suggested it should be to support proposals on humanitarian grounds where they do not create serious problems or are not impractical. In some instances, such as the case of Ibrahim Halawa, some NGOs have been asked not...
