Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: I listened before lunch to Deputy Buttimer berate the Opposition for the fact that there were no Opposition Members present when he was giving us his deliberations and it is somewhat striking that there are no Government representatives here now either. It is a ridiculous point to make, given that what is happening in the health service and the future of that service is being dictated...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: They will be reassured by that. It does not get us away from the bigger picture of what being included in CORU means. Have we created a myth that this is a professional standard, to which the professionals are being asked to sign up and which means that everything is going well, or is it merely a fig-leaf where everything is not going well? It also does not get us away from the question of...

Housing Provision: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (24 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: Anyone with an ear to the ground knows that Fr. Peter McVerry's statements were correct. Far from addressing the crisis in homelessness, this Government is the biggest contributor to the problem through paltry rent allowance. The system that sees people become paupers while trying to make up the difference between the rent supplement and the rent cannot be allowed to continue, given the...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Health Services (24 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: 135. To ask the Minister for Health the steps he will take to regulate the home help sector, which has expanded in the private sector due to the Health Service Executive recruitment embargo, and whereby many, mainly women workers, are being grossly exploited on low wages, in some instances not getting statutory entitlements, and whereby many older citizens who require assistance are not...

Clare Daly: 21.

[35433/14]

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Courts Service (25 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: 121. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the steps she has taken to ensure that the courthouses in Swords and Balbriggan, County Dublin continue to operate, as closure would undermine legal practices in the area and considerably disrupt matters for citizens and staff having to journey to the city centre for matters which could more conveniently be dealt with locally; the contact she...

[36747/14]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Abortion Legislation (30 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: What is the Minister going to do about the comments at the UN Human Rights Committee which roundly condemned Ireland as contributing to the mental suffering of women by failing to address the abortion reality? These warnings tragically have been vindicated quickly in the horrific Miss X case which shows that the legislation the Government introduced last year does not give a woman whose life...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Abortion Legislation (30 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: We do not need any further report, although the drip-feed in the media indicates that the information we will get will be illuminating. The guidelines reiterate that the purpose of the Act introduced last year was to confirm the general prohibition on abortion, but that was not the case. It was to legislate for the lawful circumstances in which a woman was entitled to have an abortion in...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Abortion Legislation (30 Sep 2014)

Clare Daly: I agree with the Minister that some of the media commentary has been very unhelpful. However, I do not believe his points about extremes in the debate. The reality has been, as successive opinion polls have shown, that the majority of Irish people believe a woman should have access to a termination in a wide range of circumstances where her health is in danger, where she is the victim of...
