- Seanad: Communications Regulation (Postal Services) (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (25 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming to the House. We welcome this important legislation. I also thank the Minister for outlining the background to the postcode system. Data protection is one thing but secrecy is another. It is of concern that not one page of the 700 page contract establishing the Eircode system is available under the Freedom of Information Act. As the Minister is aware,...

- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2015)

- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: As Senator Gilroy will know, the situation is dire and every time there is a trial reported in the newspapers or on television, as we will see tomorrow in relation to Father Brendan Smyth, Cardinal Brady and others, it means the victims relive their experience. The Rape Crisis Network and those who support it have been damaged and have suffered from a grievous crime and for the Government to...
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: The Labour Party is used to breaking promises and Senator Gilroy is used to defending the indefensible but when he sees the Rape Crisis Network in Kerry he will hear about the loss of funding when all they have to do is look at the person to the left, to the right, to the front or to the back to see a victim.
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: Senator Gilroy is defending the indefensible, as usual, and talks out of both sides of his mouth. Others had Commencement matters relating to this issue but we will see how they vote because how they vote on questions relating to the most vulnerable is the most important thing. Actions speak louder than words. When the motion comes up I hope Members opposite will reflect on it. The most...
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: I am asking for a debate and I look forward to hearing from Government Members opposite, especially those in the Labour Party who talk on the radio on the one hand while, on the other, vote against the Rape Crisis Network and other organisations which provide so much valuable support to the most vulnerable people.
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: These people have suffered and will continue to suffer if this Government goes ahead with its cuts.
- Seanad: Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2015: Second Stage (24 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and I welcome the delayed Bill to the Seanad. As the Minister of State will be aware only 2% of the laws made in this country every year actually come before the Dáil and Seanad. Most of the laws that come into effect in Ireland are EU directives, EU regulations or statutory instruments, signed by Ministers directly into Irish law and they...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Business of Joint Committee (24 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: The committee has received correspondence from the family of Ibrahim Halawa.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Business of Joint Committee (24 Jun 2015)

The Kingsmill massacre was brought up in the Dáil yesterday and I congratulated the Taoiseach, who was over in London, on releasing the files and information that we have on it. We still want the British...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Business of Joint Committee (24 Jun 2015)
Mark Daly: Dáil and Seanad motions have been passed about the release of the files on the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. It might be appropriate to have a joint meeting with the other committee with those who have made programmes on RTE and for "Panorama" and others. When the Chairman and the clerk meet the Chairman and clerk of the other committee they might consider that the two committees go to...
