Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Properties (6 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: The Minister and I have discussed on a number of occasions the issue of former members of the Defence Forces being evicted from their homes in the Curragh Camp. I know he has called them overholders and used anachronisms, but they are 29 families and individuals, a number of whom left their homes early this morning to attend this discussion and are present in the Visitors Gallery.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Properties (6 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: The Minister has repeated everything he said previously and, in fairness, we refuted these points on each occasion. Essentially, he has argued that he is not in the housing business, that it costs too much, that other agencies look after housing, that he is the Minister for Defence and that people knew when they were given houses that they would have to leave. We can answer all of these...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Properties (6 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: The reality is that the Minister's departmental officials have not engaged with people. The Minister's implication that the Department has acted with leeway and consideration and in a humanitarian way by issuing eviction notices four days before Christmas indicates a very different understanding of the English language. I say again that these people are not going away, but not because they...

Topical Issue Debate: RTE Compensation Payment (6 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: As taxpayers, citizens and public representatives, it is important we put on record how appalled we are by what RTE has done in this case. I believe this will be a defining moment and the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources will be judged on how he deals with this and what happens next. At the core of this are issues of freedom of expression and basic human rights....

Topical Issue Debate: RTE Compensation Payment (6 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: I am a little disappointed with the Minister's response because he seems to have tried to justify some of the comments last week and maybe he has missed some of the points. Nobody has said these people do not have the right to express their opinions. The issue is that other people have the right to call it by its proper name and challenge that without being censored. In his statement the...

Down's Syndrome (Equality of Access) Bill 2013: Second Stage (7 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: It is incredible that we are discussing this issue because, on the one hand, it affects such a small number of children, but on the other, if it was addressed, it would be life-transforming for them. We should all take cognisance of the fact that an 18- or 24-month delay in the life of a child cannot be compensated for later in life. Every party and Member knows this anomaly exists and...

Other Questions: Fish Farming (11 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: I ask the Minister to deal with the damage to aquaculture operations as a result of the recent storms, not least the reports of the escape of 60,000 to 80,000 salmon from the Bantry Bay operation and what has been described as a potential ecological disaster. I believe BIM issued a statement today saying that there is no evidence that these fish escaped but 60,000 to 80,000 fish have...

Clare Daly: Deputy Pringle is taking the next slot.

Reports of Unlawful Surveillance of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission: Statements (11 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: The Minister took an interesting tack in his contribution, roughly akin to asking people "to move along now, there is nothing to see here". From his point of view, would that were so. I am sorry, but I do not think that history will be so kind to him. We have a scenario of a constant drip, which inevitably will lead to a situation where the damn will break. How many special debates will...
