Seanad: Forestry Bill 2013: Committee Stage (9 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I am sure the Minister of State is aware that there has been only one instance of a licence not being granted. If, however, somebody is going to commit his or her land to forestry for life, he or she will want to have some certainty in respect of the matter. As I understand it, the grounds on which a licence may not be granted relate to the protection of the environment; the ensuring of...

Seanad: Forestry Bill 2013: Committee Stage (9 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State. He referred to regulations outlining the grounds on which compensation will either be paid or not paid. However, the legislation specifically refers to the grounds on which an official may refuse an application for a licence. As stated earlier, these are the protection of the environment; the ensuring of good forestry practice - which is open to...

Seanad: Forestry Bill 2013: Committee Stage (9 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: The legal advice appears to indicate that compensation might be payable. However, the grounds set out in the Bill are quite specific and pretty much all-encompassing and seem to indicate that the Government will not pay compensation in respect of the refusal of felling licences. I understand that a licence has only ever been refused on one occasion. Perhaps the Minister of State's...

Seanad: Forestry Bill 2013: Committee Stage (9 Oct 2014)

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2014)

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I thank colleagues in the other House and the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs for their agreement on the legislation that went through the Dáil yesterday in regard to banning smoking in cars where children are present. This important legislation shows what can be done when all sides work together, when legislators legislate and when bureaucrats do not prevent us from doing our...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: Will the Leader clarify whether the phrase "The job is as good as yours" was used? To make such a journey and to claim that he never met him is quite extraordinary.

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I thank the Cathaoirleach for his indulgence. Members have often criticised Israel here and have been lambasted as being anti-Israel and anti-Jewish. That is not the situation. Just because people criticise a country does not mean they are against it. They might rather be in favour of a peace process in Palestine. Just because Members might criticise the United States, that does not mean...

Mark Daly: Just because a person might question whether an ambassador was aware that he had been invited to a fund-raiser by a political party-----

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: -----it does not mean Members have the right to cast aspersions on anyone's character. I ask the Cathaoirleach to look at the record of what was said yesterday and the comments made by Members here who themselves have castigated the British on many occasions. All I ask of our colleagues across the water-----

Seanad: Arts and Culture Sector: Motion (8 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House. I am proud to serve with her on the all-party consultation group on the decade of commemorations. Like many others inside and outside this House, I am concerned about the lack of focus on the celebrations for 2016. There has been a lack of focus, in particular, on the descendants of Cumann na mBan, the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizens' Army, who...

Seanad: Arts and Culture Sector: Motion (8 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: It says a lot about the Senator for him to describe people who signed a proclamation looking for equal rights and equal opportunities, which he himself has sought, in such terms. It says a lot-----

Seanad: Arts and Culture Sector: Motion (8 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: -----tragically, about him. The issue that is also of concern to us is the nomination of Mr. McNulty in the upcoming election for this House. This is not befitting the House. The Minister was not entirely informed of the reasons people were being appointed to IMMA. I accept that. On 20 June, the Taoiseach visited Sligo for the opening of Lissadell House. During that visit, I understand...
