Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2018)

Mark Daly: I welcome Senators Marshall and Lawlor and I look forward to working with them. Senator Marshall represents one of the traditions in the North, namely, the farming tradition, and he will have a baptism of fire as we will be having a Brexit debate a little later. I condemn the comments of John Taylor. Some people said it was underlying racism but it was actually racism.His comment was...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2018)

Mark Daly: In the context of the ongoing cervical cancer issue I refer to the Corporate Manslaughter Bill 2016, which was voted down in 2013 by the previous Government. During the Committee Stage debate we had on the Bill it was decided to remove section 3. That was the last debate we had on the Bill. I will outline what section 3 would have done to the people who are responsible for deaths of women...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2018)

Mark Daly: It was not passed. Do Members know who wanted section 3, in its entirety, removed? It was the Government. No one will go to jail. No one went to jail.

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2018)

Mark Daly: The reason we brought in that Bill and the reason the Law Reform Commission wanted the Bill introduced - that is its Bill - is the hepatitis C scandal where 1,200 women were infected knowingly with hepatitis C and women died.

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2018)

Mark Daly: That Bill was to make sure it would not happen again. What will we have? We will have inquiries, tribunals and people getting paid off and fellows going off on their pensions and women dying. Why?

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2018)

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2018)

Seanad: Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Statements (1 May 2018)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming before the House. I, too, welcome to the House Senator Ian Marshall, an important voice on Brexit. Arguing for the best deal for one's own community is the responsibility of all public representatives. We in Fianna Fáil have argued that Northern Ireland should get a special deal or a special status, a foot in both camps, which would mean it would have...

Seanad: Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Statements (1 May 2018)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister. Five are in dispute. However, this is just a small example of the fact that it is hard to get the facts. We have a border agency stating there are 275 crossings and the Irish and British Governments stating there are actually 208. This is just one problem, and there are a myriad of others. The Minister has just referred to a poll stating that 20% of people or...

Seanad: Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Statements (1 May 2018)

Mark Daly: Yes, but nothing speaks better than money. It speaks volumes that the Government is offering a grant to companies to draw up a plan. One hundred companies have drawn down the grant to draw up a plan, which shows that the figure of 6% is probably more accurate than the figure of 63%. If someone rings up a company and asks whether it is planning or preparing a plan, it would want to say it...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 May 2018)

Mark Daly: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business that the Minister for Justice and Equality come to the House to explain why the Government has failed to enact the Corporate Manslaughter (No. 2) Bill 2016 as was proposed and debated by us, as was proposed in the previous Seanad and voted down by the previous Fine Gael-Labour Government and is now not the law of the land. I raised this on...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 May 2018)

Mark Daly: Correct. I am asking the Minister for Justice and Equality to come to the House.

Seanad: Order of Business (3 May 2018)

Mark Daly: It is our job. That is why we have the Order of Business. I am proposing an amendment to the Order of Business to allow the Minister for Justice and Equality to come in and spare the taxpayer another commission of inquiry and the need to build another shelf to put another report on with more recommendations that people be held to account and sent to jail for killing women.

Seanad: Order of Business (3 May 2018)

Seanad: Order of Business (3 May 2018)

Mark Daly: The Minister could explain why the Government has not enacted the Bill.
