Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: The Leader might call for Deputy Martin to come in and apologise.

Seanad: Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland: Statements (27 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Tánaiste for coming to the House and taking this important debate. I know the case of Patsy Kelly has been raised already. That is only one of the many legacy issues. They are referred to as legacy issues but they are still murders. They are simply uninvestigated murders in many cases. A historical inquiries team was set up to investigate many of these but they really...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Organ Donation Data (28 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank my county colleague for coming before the House to take this matter on behalf of the Minister. I raised it over six months ago and I raise it again today. Two weeks ago, I tabled the matter for a Commencement debate and then received a reply by email from the Minister. He was only able to come in on that occasion. In the reply to which I refer, he explained why it is not possible...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Organ Donation Data (28 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: I am glad the Minister of State did not read out the full reply, which, I know, was not written by him. It is ridiculous to say that under current EU rules on data protection we need the permission of the applicant to share the data because the Minister has already shared the data with eFlow, the courts and the Garda. The Minister can do it, and has done it. I refer to the Minister giving...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: I am sure colleagues will join me in wishing one of our most esteemed members of staff, Mr. Donal Hickey, well in his retirement tomorrow. He has been courteous to all of us in our time here. We wish him a long and happy retirement. He is retiring to Kerry, which is always a great idea. When he gets there, I will be sure to show him the bakery run by the three Moriarty brothers which shut...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Organ Donation (3 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: Needless to say, I am disappointed that the Minister of Health is not here to discuss the issues of organ donation and organ donor awareness. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, was also unable to come to take this matter. It is a matter of life and death for some. The specific issue I raised last year has not been advanced by either Minister. I thank Mr. Mark...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Organ Donation (3 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I do not want the Minister of State to take this personally, if that is not the worst answer I have heard to a question put in the Seanad, it is fairly close. Some 1 million people in this country have registered that they would like to be to be organ donors. That information is available in the Government system. This will increase organ donor rates from 52% to 92% if the family are...

Mark Daly: -----that is prepared by the Department and I am just saying it is a terrible reply. Is that going to help somebody waiting on the transplant list?

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Organ Donation (3 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I am not abusing this House. That reply is one of the worst I have ever heard.

Seanad: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Second Stage (3 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for appearing in the House to present the legislation. We will reluctantly support the Bill to aid the development of the airport, although we share the concerns of many of the residents around the airport and in wider Fingal in respect of the manner in which the Government has approached the establishment of what it claims is an independent regulator. Ireland will...

Seanad: Transport Matters: Statements (4 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming to the House to outline some of the issues. I was briefly going through his speech and I highlighted how much of it related to Dublin and how much related to the rest of Ireland. I do not think there is a great balance to be honest. I am keen to focus briefly on one issue that comes in under transport. I have put in a question on organ donation twice in the...

Committee on Public Petitions: Business of Joint Committee (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I second that proposal.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: The FAI is not going to make that report available to members. Is that what Mr. Conway is saying?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: Many of the questions have been asked already. I will not go into them in great detail but I would like to get clarity on some of them. On the issue of John Delaney's appointment to his new role, I do not know Mr. Delaney very well but I know that as an ambassador for Ireland and Irish sports he has done an amazing job and I am sure he will do an amazing job in this regard. He has worked...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: We have loads of women throughout our organisation, including spokespersons. Deputy Lisa Chambers is doing an excellent job on Brexit. I am sure if she were in Westminster, she would have sorted it out a long time ago, as would all of the women. As part of the governance review, the FAI should make sure the women's soccer team and all of the women who will, I hope, account for half of...
