- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: An interesting headline relating to this matter appeared in The Kerryman, which declared "Cuts are just death by geography" and this is exactly what happens when one lives in a rural area. If Mr. Morton, who lives in a nice suburban home-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: I thank the Cathaoirleach. If Mr. Morton, who lives in a nice suburban home in Dublin, was obliged to wait an hour and a half for an ambulance to arrive at his front door, I have no doubt that there would be an inquiry. If people in Dublin were obliged to wait two hours for the arrival of ambulances, it would be declared a national scandal and RTE would highlight the matter on its news...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Foreign Affairs Council and Development Aid: Discussion with Minister of State (26 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: I raised the issue of the overseas aid budget with the Minister of State when he was in the Seanad previously. The annual report indicates that €206 million is provided in multilateral aid, including €128 million for EU development co-operation. Of the latter amount, €109 million in taxpayers' money, or money we borrowed from the EU itself, is being given back to EU...
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: With my colleague, Senator Paul Coghlan, I share the fear than an Oireachtas inquiry would not work but would turn into a circus and come to no conclusion as the legislation does not allow it to find on matters attributing blame. What we want is action and a criminal prosecution. It is lamentable that it has taken this length of time and that nobody is behind bars in respect of what...

Mark Daly: In regard to the particular matter I have raised, I will supply the Senator with all the information he wants, including on Portman Square in London, which proves that the taxpayer is at a loss.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: His coalition colleague, Senator Higgins, has raised the issue and everybody knows the taxpayer is at a loss in the way NAMA is selling its properties because it is not doing it according to the legislation and in an open and transparent manner. I support my colleague in calling for a debate on mortgages. The new code of conduct is coming out tomorrow and it will be a charter to terrorise...
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: The 145,000 who are in arrears will not be protected by the previous code of conduct whereby they could be contacted only three times a month. Now they can be contacted three times an hour. I ask for a debate on this because I understand the code of conduct is illegal. I ask the Leader for a debate on the question whether this code of conduct has any basis in law.

Mr. Paul Hennigan was employed by NAMA and went to work for an asset fund in London. Part of his job-----
