- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2014)
Clare Daly: The point is we have not been able to obtain accurate information on this issue. That these hugely expensive aircraft that landed on our shores 630 times during the past 12 months were not engaged in military activity is, to be honest, laughable. The former Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Deputy Alan Shatter, challenged us to produce evidence that they were carrying arms. The...

- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2014)
Clare Daly: I am aware of that. However, there is no time limit on my first contribution.

There are points I want to make and there is nothing in Standing Orders that prevents me from doing so. This matter has been clarified. How the debate would proceed...

- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2014)
Clare Daly: I am focusing on the amendments which deal with the requirement to search aircraft. The section deals with the power of authorised officers at the airport. The amendments specifically seek to include in the section that authorised officers be required to conduct searches of such aircraft. I was trying to explain why this was necessary and detail all of the channels we had gone through to...

- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2014)
Clare Daly: That is fine. There are two proposers of each amendment. Deputy Wallace has spoken and I am speaking now. If I got the order the wrong way around, I am sorry.
