Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with European Movement Ireland (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: Would Ms O'Connor be able to get those figures for us, showing how many officials we have in Brussels compared with the numbers for other countries? If we are not even matching Denmark, we are tailcoating on Britain's massive civil service presence in Brussels.

Mark Daly: On behalf of the committee, I thank Dr. Mary Murphy for coming from the department of government in University College Cork. She holds the Jean Monnet Chair in European Integration. She has expertise in a number of areas at which the committee is looking. She was unable to come last week when we discussed the future relations between the State and Northern Ireland and we are delighted that...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Relations between the State and Northern Ireland (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I thank Dr. Murphy for her valuable contribution. The idea of an independent facilitator is something at which we should look as a committee in making a recommendation. The entire peace process was built on the principle that nothing was agreed until everything was agreed.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with Dr. Anthony Coughlan (1 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I thank Dr. Coughlan for coming and giving us his views and some information. It is important for us to hear the views of those who articulate the case for Irexit, regardless of whether we agree with them. The arguments in favour of Ireland leaving the European Union should be heard. One wonders whether we should see how Britain gets on before considering whether to ride on its coat-tails....

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with European Youth Forum, Education and Training Boards Ireland and Irish Congress of Trade Unions (8 Jun 2017)

Mark Daly: I thank the witnesses for coming here. It was a very sombre presentation. Has ETBI done costings for a worst case scenario where Irish students were no longer able to go over to Britain? In a worst case scenario where there is a hard Brexit, the impact it might have on the Irish system is frightening. If Irish students were not able to go to England or to the North and there was no...

The Minister of State said he does not wish to state on every section he will put in the...
