Seanad: Order of Business (8 Feb 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Legacy Issues Affecting Victims and Relatives in Northern Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Feb 2018)

Mark Daly: I will be brief as I have to go to another meeting. The 150 paramilitary deaths since the Good Friday Agreement are obviously of concern. Have these deaths occurred because a lot of the infrastructure remains in place and is being allowed to remain in place for the sake of, one cannot say "peace", but perhaps stability? How much funding is required? One can set up all the infrastructure...

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (21 Feb 2018)

Mark Daly: We do not accept the claims made in the Government's motion and its record on provision for those with disabilities, but we are happy to support the measures the Government proposes to take, which are outlined in the latter half of the motion, along with Senator Dolan's amendments. As we all know, people who have disabilities face discrimination in terms of housing, transport and many other...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2018)

Mark Daly: Ar dtús, déarfaidh mé cúpla focal do Trevor Ó'Clochartaigh ar an ócáid seo. Bhí brón orm nuair a chuala mé an nuacht that Trevor was resigning from the Seanad - on his own terms. Not every person gets to leave office on their own terms. I pay tribute to Trevor for his work on the issue of the diaspora. I have attended many events with him....

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2018)

Mark Daly: Actually, she is my godchild. The thing about being my godchild is that she is the one who picks the nursing home so, obviously, she is up here on work experience. She is up here on work experience and is having a grand time. We were at the cinema last night. She will be picking my nursing home so everyone should make sure to treat her right.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: Today marks an extraordinary occasion. It is the 170th anniversary of when the Tricolour was first flown by Thomas Francis Meagher. He is probably the most extraordinary Irishman that most Irish people have never heard about.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: Thomas Francis Meagher not only ran for parliament, unsuccessfully, for Westminster in 1848, he was a leader in the rebellion in Ireland of 1848 for which he was put on trial for high treason. He was the last man in Ireland to be sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered. Prior to sentencing the judge asked him if he had anything to say, to which he replied: "Well your honour, I give you my...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. He opened his remarks by saying that today is International Women's Day, a day that is rightly celebrated around the world. I am leading off today because our leader, Senator Ardagh, is not able to attend because she is at the funeral of an extraordinary woman who was 106 years of age. Not only did she have grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but she had...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh (21 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: Is ócáid speisialta agus stairiúil í seo. Ba mhaith fáilte a chur roimh Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh agus a chlann. Nuair a bhí mo chlann féin ag féachaint ar chluichí Ciarraí ar an teilifís san am ina raibh Mícheál fós ag tráchtaireacht - when Mícheál was commentating on matches involving Kerry...

Seanad: Ratification of UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Statements (21 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for outlining the issues and challenges involved in the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. While we are one of the last countries to ratify it there were many steps legally required for it to be successful. There are many challenges ahead to fulfil all our aspirations for people with disabilities and for our society to...

Seanad: An Bille um an Séú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht 2018: Céim an Choiste agus na Céimeanna a bheidh Fágtha - Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (28 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: Our Constitution is unique. It was the first constitution in human history to have been adopted by a popular vote of the people in a referendum held in 1937. It is all the more extraordinary a document because it was adopted by the Irish people at a time when democracies were crumbling in Germany, Italy and Spain. Here in Ireland, politicians were not taking power from the people. Rather,...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (29 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: I was also on the delegation to Westminster with my esteemed colleague from Kerry, Senator Coghlan. It was informative in many ways because we were given a copy of a report by the House of Commons committee on the issue of the Irish Border and its assertion there is no viable technical solution that will allow the Border to remain frictionless and seamless and that no such system exists...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (29 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: This is with regard to the sharing of information between the organ donor transplant organisation, the HSE and medical professionals and the driver licence authority, which holds information on whether people have indicated on their driver licence that they would like to be an organ donor. If the number 115 is on the card it indicates the holder would like to be an organ donor. This...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (29 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: -----between that decision being made and not being made, and I cannot understand why the Minister, Deputy Ross, is allowing the information to be shared between the driver licence authority and private companies to collect fines but is not allowing it to be shared with those who can save and transform lives.
