Clare Daly: 3. To ask the Minister for Defence if he will ensure that the Defence Forces cease security contracts with Israeli companies. [34814/14]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Contracts (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: I too congratulate the Minister on his extra brief. I do not know what the farmers were giving out about. I think he is one of a handful of people who could admirably handle the two posts and I wish him well. The question relates to when the Minister will order the Defence Forces no longer to engage in contracts with companies which have been involved in, or profited from, illegal Israeli...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Contracts (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: That really is not good enough. This demand is part of a Trócaire campaign. It is not exactly the most radical organisation making efforts to discourage countries from trading with or investing in those companies that have connections with illegal Israeli settlements. That campaign was initiated prior to the summer slaughter of the people of Gaza and the particular targeting of...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Contracts (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: I believe the Minister deliberately did not answer the question which was not about the merits of what the Government was spending; rather, it was about the very fact that it was spending taxpayers' money with a company involved in illegal activity in Israel. Over the summer most Irish people were appalled at the slaughter of innocent people there. It is not just this military company that...

Other Questions: Defence Forces Deployment (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: 7. To ask the Minister for Defence the number of occasions on which Irish Defence Forces personnel were present at Shannon Airport in June, July and August 2014; the nature of their duties; and the number of searches of foreign military aircraft conducted. [34551/14]

Other Questions: Defence Forces Deployment (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: This question relates to the activities of members of the Defence Forces at Shannon Airport in the presence of US military aircraft. As a neutral country, we have international obligations to search these aircraft, although it would appear the Defence Forces members seem to be present more or less to protect them. Will the Minister instruct the Defence Forces to search the aircraft or will...

Other Questions: Defence Forces Deployment (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: The Minister has confirmed that the activities over the summer were consistent and that on average once a day the Irish Defence Forces are present to protect US military aircraft. When the Irish Army goes there, at whose behest is it? Is it at the behest of the Garda Síochána? Who decides and who pays for it? We have a responsibility under international law to search the...

Other Questions: Defence Forces Deployment (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: That is the problem of kicking it from one Minister to the other. The Minister has confirmed that we are facilitating the movement of US troops, in his words, and these troops have engaged in a 13-year invasion of Afghanistan, not to mind activities in Iraq and elsewhere. We have been complicit in the slaughter of innocents because of that. I quoted to the Minister the obligations in terms...

Water Services (Exempt Charges) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: This issue is a sad example of the doublespeak that categorises the Government. Ministers are lining up to tell us that austerity is at an end and that there will be a few crumbs thrown in the budget. Meanwhile, the Government is bulldozing through and putting its hands in people's pockets through water charges. It is ironic that we are having this discussion on the day MABS has issued a...

Topical Issue Debate: Abortion Legislation (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: It is with great sadness that we raise this issue again in the House. When it was discussed previously in the context of the death of Savita Halappanaver the words, "Never again", were frequently used. Of course, it has happened again and it will keep happening until we deal with Ireland's abortion reality. The latest case known as Miss Y concerns a young woman impregnated as a result of...

Topical Issue Debate: Abortion Legislation (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: We were not discussing the individual case but there is no doubt that the words of warning expressed by the UN Human Rights Committee really ring true in respect of it. The woman in question was treated as, and shown to be, no more than a vessel in the eyes of the State. The legislation in this area has been deemed to be absolutely inadequate in the context of dealing with the very graphic...

Written Answers — Department of Defence: Defence Forces Medicinal Products (18 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: 17. To ask the Minister for Defence in relation to previous parliamentary question responses, if he will specify the international best practice that he was referring to in relation to prescribing Lariam to the Irish Defence Forces, in view that Ireland is the only country which prescribes Lariam as the only drug of choice.
