Seanad: Order of Business (7 Nov 2013)

Mark Daly: I second the amendment to the Order of Business on the issue of the national children's hospital. It is beyond belief that the HSE would only now be commissioning a traffic survey. One would imagine that kind of work would have been done in advance. It just shows the incompetence of the organisation. Will the Leader to organise a debate on a disturbing story reported today? Will he...

Seanad: Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2013: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2013)

Mark Daly: Not only the cut but the literature sent out by the Department has been described by others as an invitation to emigrate by the Department of Social Protection. The literature informs people about jobs in Canada. It is a pro-emigration policy. Of the 50,900 people emigrating, two out of every three has a degree. We have a skills shortage and yet 600 degree holders per week leave the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: United Nations Human Rights Council: Discussion with Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (6 Nov 2013)

Mark Daly: Maybe we could distribute atlases to all members. I regret we do not have a sub-committee on human rights. The committee’s remit was extended to include trade but there was no extension to cover human rights. This is unfortunate, particularly considering our role on the UN Human Rights Council. It is hard for Ireland to move child morbidity and mortality as an individual issue...

Seanad: Gas Regulation Bill 2013: Second Stage (17 Oct 2013)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House. The issue of the sale of Bord Gáis to repay our debts is disturbing when one considers that, depending on who performs the valuation, the asset is worth between €800 million and €1 billion. As the Minister knows, these figures account for approximately four weeks of borrowing. It does not seem to be a wise move, particularly given the...
