Seanad: Tackling Bullying in Schools: Statements (Resumed) (26 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister. This issue was brought home to us by the suicide of two sisters, Erin and Shannon Gallagher, who were 13 and 15 years old. They had been subjected to bullying. I was watching the Minister earlier on the monitor and heard him discuss how bullying was not the responsibility of the schools. Emphasis is always placed on what schools can do-----

Seanad: Tackling Bullying in Schools: Statements (Resumed) (26 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: I agree. Parents have a responsibility to ensure and check that their child is safe. Cyberbullying is an entirely different monster from other forms of bullying because it does not disappear after school. It comes home with the child, is on the telephone and the Internet and, as my colleague described, becomes a type of cancer from which he cannot escape. I am sure the Minister never...

Seanad: Tackling Bullying in Schools: Statements (Resumed) (26 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: A simple initiative would not require legislation or ministerial orders. It would obviously require good will. If every principal, especially at post-primary level, put an incentive in place, it would be useful. Most schools have a strict ban on the use of mobile phones, but a stick and carrot approach should be applied in regard to bullying such that children with anti-bullying technology...

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (25 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: The Good Friday Agreement recognised Irish, Ulster Scots and Irish Sign Language as official languages. We agreed, with the British Government, that these languages would get official recognition in the North and South. While Irish Sign Language is recognised in the North of Ireland and policy has been put in place on the ground to implement it, here in the South there has been no...

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (25 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: I would hope that rather than supporting motions we support legislation.

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (25 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: I addressed that in my speech. Activity should never be mistaken for action. While we would be delighted to support any motion that is positive on Irish Sign Language, the legislation-----

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (25 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: Putting the Good Friday Agreement on a legislative basis would be far more productive for the members of the deaf community.

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (25 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: I support my colleagues in this motion. There are 600,000 people with disabilities of one form or another in the country, and they should be protected in the best way possible. That amounts to 18.5% of the population having some form of disability, and the manner in which the Government gives support is critical. To clarify the matter for my learned friend opposite, mismanagement in the...

Seanad: Pathways to Work Strategy: Statements (25 Sep 2013)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House and thank her for outlining the work done by the programmes with which she is involved. It is always good to see a Minister outline his or her brief, not read a script, which tells us that she knows exactly what she is talking about. There are a number of issues. We have talked about how the unemployment rate has stabilised but not about the people who...
