Other Questions: Employment Support Services (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: This question relates to the Gateway programme. People are now expected to work for nothing. They are being frog-marched to collect litter or cut the grass for local authorities. If they refuse to do so, their dole payments will be cut and if they take on the work, they will end up poorer because it will not even pay them to go to work. I ask the Minister to abandon the scheme as it is...

Other Questions: Employment Support Services (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: This question specifically concerns Gateway rather than the other initiatives which we can deal with at another time. The idea that people who are unemployed do not currently contribute to their community is an insult and this does not provide an opportunity for people locked out of work. What personal benefit could there be for somebody to be decked out in a high-visibility jacket in order...

Other Questions: Employment Support Services (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: The Minister is again refusing to deal with the question. People need a job if they are to get back to work. It is not that there is something wrong with people or there is a defect which means they must be retrained through picking up litter for a county council. These people need jobs. Some of these people may be in a later life after 25 or 30 years working, so at 50 they may find...

Government's Priorities for the Year Ahead: Statements (Resumed) (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: I am disappointed the Government has decided to turn over the Dáil this week to host a backslappers convention for itself. It is quite embarrassing. I would have thought Fine Gael had enough of that at the weekend but clearly the Labour Party felt a bit left out. Many people in Irish society would like to slap members of the Government but I am not sure it would be on the back. If I...

Government's Priorities for the Year Ahead: Statements (Resumed) (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: In a letter sent to his local Deputies by the aforementioned doctor who currently is operating this practice, he stated that he had worked in a properly resourced, free-at-the-point-of-care general practice in the United Kingdom for years. Consequently, universal health care is not the problem.

Topical Issue Debate: Foreign Conflicts (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: We must be very careful not to be quick to side with the United States, as happened in respect of Libya. Our role in the European Union will be important. It is ironic that the United States and the European Union talk about illegal invasions. Deputy Dowds referred to Russia's unacceptable aggression but it seems that Russia has learned only too well from the United States about such...

Topical Issue Debate: Foreign Conflicts (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: The quick response of the EU to the Russian authorities' breach of international law is, while welcome, in sharp contrast to the approach to the illegal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq by the US and, indeed, Israel's role regarding Palestine. That point will not have been missed. NATO has had a role in this over some time. It has had an undisguised ambition to continue what is, in...

Clare Daly: 35. To ask the Minister for Social Protection if she will review the low level of rent supplement being awarded, against the backdrop of rising rents, which is contributing to increased homelessness and tenants having to subsidise the rent by amounts in excess of guidelines. [10437/14]

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Bord na gCon Remit (6 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: 192. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will consider transferring the responsibility of greyhound registration from the Irish Coursing Club to Bord na gCon as many greyhound owners have no interest in participating in coursing. [11203/14]
