Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Update on EU Foreign Affairs Council: Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (11 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: In respect of the European Union, if we do not have satisfaction, will we be considering trade sanctions in the light of what Amnesty International has stated about Ibrahim Halawa and the fact that he has no charges to answer? I am aware that we will be discussing the Irish overseas and the diaspora on another occasion, but perhaps the Minister might refer to the undocumented Irish and the...

Seanad: Ireland's Diaspora Policy: Statements (10 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister of State. I am delighted that he is the first person to be appointed to office under any Government in a role with specific responsibility for the diaspora. I was delighted, too, to be appointed by my party as the first spokesperson on the diaspora in either House and to play a part in producing, in July 2013, the first policy paper on the Irish overseas by any party....

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: The Taoiseach says he is worth €3,500 per week.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I am sure it sounds incredible to someone on the minimum wage of €8.65 per hour, or on social welfare or struggling to make ends meet in the middle classes. He was stealing a line from Jennifer Aniston who, when advertising a shampoo, said she was "worth it". No doubt she earns considerably more than the Taoiseach but a person on the minimum wage earns one tenth of what the Taoiseach...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I am glad to hear Senator Paul Coghlan is not defending the Taoiseach's €3,500 per week or saying that he is worth that. Is that right, Senator Coghlan?

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: The Senator said that and the record will show it. The Taoiseach says he is worth €3,500 per week but he was put into office because he promised to end cronyism and fix the health system. He said he would end the disgrace of waiting lists and the accident and emergency crisis. He made all those promises but did not deliver on them yet he says he is worth it. I am not too sure...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I am sure the elderly and other vulnerable people would not agree he is worth it either. I ask the Leader whether we should have a living wage as opposed to a minimum wage. I also wish to ask a question about Irish Water. It is clear that Irish Water is insolvent. Normally the economists of Ireland cannot agree on anything and if one were to put them end to end they would not come to a...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I did not associate Senator Norris with them.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: You are repeating what you just said.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I am not earning €3,500 per week, but I am glad that the Senator agrees with me.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: Is the Senator still talking about the Taoiseach's salary?

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: Macbeth did it better.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: The low pay commission was the issue I raised.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: For those on the minimum wage, the Taoiseach is earning ten times the salary-----

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: If somebody on the minimum wage was listening to somebody on ten times his or her salary, he or she would not think the Taoiseach was worth it, not when he was cutting social welfare payments and the fuel allowance.
