Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jul 2013)

Mark Daly: There is no protection in it for the mortgage holders and those in distress. I call on the Leader to facilitate the request of my colleague, Senator Byrne, for an amendment to the Order of Business to discuss the issue. The game goes on and the people writing the legislation are not the legislators. The Minister would not outline what changes he has allowed to be made to the legislation...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jul 2013)

Mark Daly: I wish to propose an amendment to the Order of Business to the effect that the Minister for Health should come before the House to discuss SI 325 - European Union (Quality and Safety of Human Organs Intended for Transplantation) Regulations 2012. I attended the Irish Kidney Association's annual general meeting earlier this year and I am aware that the association is dissatisfied at the...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2013)

Mark Daly: I support Senator Crown. It shows the national democratic deficit and dysfunctional nature of the legislative process in this House that when a Member with such a reputation as Senator Crown brings forward legislation that will protect children from the harmful effects of smoking, over a year later it has not progressed an inch. If one wants Members to make a legislative contribution, there...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2013)

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2013)

Mark Daly: If he is happy with that, he is more than welcome to stand up and defend the fact that legislation which would protect children from the harmful effects of smoking has not progressed an inch. Is the Senator saying Senator Crown does not have the credibility to say that the legislation should be adopted by the Government? It was adopted by the Government. The Minister for Health came to the...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2013)

Mark Daly: I welcome the announcement by Aer Lingus of its intention to restore the route between Dublin and San Francisco. Even though 40% of all international investment in Ireland comes from the bay area of that city, since 2009, when Aer Lingus shut down the route, we have had no direct link with it from this country. It seems that Facebook, Google and the other Internet companies with European...

Mark Daly: Article 2 of Bunreacht na hÉireann states: It is the entitlement and birthright of every person born in the island of Ireland, which includes its islands and seas, to be part of the Irish nation. That is also the entitlement of all persons otherwise qualified in accordance with law to be citizens of Ireland. Furthermore, the Irish nation cherishes its special affinity with people of...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)

Mark Daly: I also wish to welcome Senator Norris back to the House. While he does not agree with everyone all of the time, he does tend to agree with some of us some of the time. I second Senator MacSharry's amendment to the Order of Business. The new code of conduct to which he referred has been discussed in the House previously. It is a banker's charter to terrorise those whose mortgages are in...
