Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Challenges Facing Minority Sports: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Mark Daly: Sport Ireland will appear before this committee. In an Olympic year, why would an organisation be paid in October when it needs funding in the run-up to the Olympics? We need to ask Sport Ireland why it is not making the sensible decision in that regard. Athletes who have qualified for the Olympics should be peaking in the run-up to the games. We need to establish why Sport Ireland does...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: The Leader has outlined that we will discuss Brexit, which is the issue of the day. The fact that RTÉ is committing the entire day to the investigation of what Brexit will do on the Border, in particular, means it is appropriate that we would raise it on the Order of Business as well as having the discussion on it later. The most recent pie-in-the-sky proposal, which is akin to its...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It appears to be a pie, a cake and a dog's dinner all at the same time. This new idea of having customs checks within ten miles of the Border was planned at least a year ago when the British Government brought in legislation where it could introduce stop, search and seizure within ten miles of the Border. That legislation passed in the Houses of Commons in 2017. This is not something it...

Mark Daly: Special status being granted means that it is now-----

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: He should not interrupt me as I am praising the Government. Having history as a core subject has been Fianna Fáil's policy because people learn from history. It does not repeat itself so much as it rhymes and one has to spot the mistakes of the past. On German reunification Bismark said: “Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: It is always great to get a warm welcome from a fellow Kerry man. I thank the Leader for outlining the Order of Business today. At present, it is all things Brexit and Brexit-related. I know the Government has made strong representations to the British Government on the court case yesterday. The matter has been raised many times in this House by Senator Ó Donnghaile, among others. I...

Seanad: Sustainable Tourism: Statements (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. The tourism sector is important to our county of Kerry. The Minister of State spoke about a number of issues regarding the sustainability of the tourism industry. One of the key factors is the issue of the supply of qualified staff. As the Minister of State is well aware, the lack of chefs in the restaurant industry is a key concern. People...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I, too, pay tribute to the families who have in the most awful of circumstances given the gift of life to complete strangers. I pay tribute to the late Senator Feargal Quinn who championed this case long before it was popular, and long before people were aware of the consequences of not having a functioning organ donation system, which we currently do...

Mark Daly: What hospitals have not provided any organ donors in the past decade?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: There is no hospital with an emergency department that did not provide an organ donor. Kenmare hospital did not provide any organ donor. Has any fully resourced hospital with an emergency department not provided organ donors in the past five years?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: The answer is "No". That is fine.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion (16 Oct 2019)

Mark Daly: I have been told that certain fully functioning hospitals with an emergency department do not have a system to deal with requests and that such requests are made on an ad hocbasis. The legislation does not address this issue. That is why pre-legislative scrutiny is important. The Bill should have a section to require hospitals to have a system in place. I admit that not all hospitals have...
