Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jul 2010)

Mark Daly: It is unfortunate that Senator O'Toole has left us because I could reply to his comments on the mobile phone labelling Bill. No doubt he has done considerable research on the matter. I ask the Leader to have a debate on this legislation. Senator O'Toole is obviously a wise man from Kerry, but probably has not read-----

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jul 2010)

Mark Daly: -----this is related to the question to the Leader - the US President's cancer panel report that the true burden of environmentally caused cancers is grossly underestimated.

When the Minister of State attends the House, will the Leader allow me to contribute on Deputy Burton's comments on radio this morning which were nothing short of reckless? The Labour Party's finance spokesperson was discussing defaulting on senior bondholders which legally would be the same as defaulting on deposit holders....

Seanad: Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Mark Daly: As Senator McCarthy is well aware, that is what Deputy Burton stated this morning. She wanted to give bondholders a hair cut to a figure of 50% but no better man than the Minister for Finance, Deputy Brian Lenihan, to put the matter in simple terms.

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Oct 2010)

Mark Daly: When it comes to my learned colleagues in the Opposition, we are discussing the issue of the need for consensus and how they all espouse the concept that the interests of the country are pre-eminent.
