- Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)

We wanted to support some amendments the Government proposed but it did not table them and therefore we did. The cynical part of this is that if the Government had tabled them, they could have been included in the Bill. We tabled them, and because of that, the Chair has ruled, as is his right,...

Mark Daly: May I clarify something?
- Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)
Mark Daly: This is where changes need to be made to ensure the Bill is technically factually correct. The reason I submitted an amendment proposing in page 6, line 19, to delete "the Republic of Ireland" and substitute "the State" is because that is the correct reference in legislation. Although Senator Norris would point out that, of course, how I allowed for the Republic of Ireland to be dropped for...

Mark Daly: The Government was going to allow this House to let a Bill move forward to the Report Stage even though we were going to incorrectly define the legal parameters of the State. Does that sound like an Administration that wants to work with the deaf community in order to ensure that the Bill passes and is capable of working?

- Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2017)
Mark Daly: Amendment No. 4 has been ruled out of order, but the amendment that remains was drafted by the Irish Deaf Society and relates to the formal recognition of Irish Sign Language. The amendment that has been ruled out of order is exactly the same as the Government's amendment. The Government chose not to submit this amendment, which formally recognises Irish Sign Language for the first time in...
