Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (20 Nov 2019)

Mark Daly: I welcome the family of Rory Kiely here today for this very special occasion to honour and remember him. We also remember his wife, Eileen, on this occasion. Rory Kiely was one of those rare people who was a legend in his own lifetime, in that we all heard about him when we were candidates for the Seanad. Those of us in Fianna Fáil and in politics heard of the legend of Rory Kiely and...

Seanad: Transport and Sport: Statements (20 Nov 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming to the House to outline rail issues. I am slightly confused about the announcement made about 28 rail carriages. Initially they were supposed to be renovated but, as he said in his speech, an announcement was made about 41 new carriages which will not come on stream until the year after next. There was another commitment to leasing 60 to 80 used carriages...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Cycling Policy: Discussion (20 Nov 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank members for facilitating me. Mr. Baker pointed out how action No. 97 of the climate action plan, the full implementation of the national cycle policy framework, states every local authority should set forth a clear pathway and timetable for the installation of dedicated cycling infrastructure. Mr. Ferrie pointed out the amount of money allocated towards road infrastructure. The...

Mark Daly: I thank the Vice Chairman for allowing us to come in on this issue. I welcome those from the AILG and members from the representative organisations. Those from LAMA were here yesterday. Many questions have been asked already. In a speech, it was indicated that there would be back pay. My colleague, Deputy Cassells, asked where that back pay would come from. Back pay has been promised....

Seanad: Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Bill 2019: Second Stage (10 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming in for the Second Stage debate on this Bill. We will also be discussing amendments on Committee Stage. I want to ask one simple question. The programme for Government contains a promise that regulatory impact assessments would be carried out on all legislation. This Bill will obviously put a particular onus on many housing bodies. Has a regulatory impact...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the delegation for coming in and I congratulate them and the team on their great success, which was not achieved without great sacrifice. Being an Olympian is an honour bestowed on very few, no matter what the result. I am delighted to hear of a hockey team using a GAA pitch. It is not something that is provided for in the rules of the association. Kenmare had a hockey team for a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: It was raised in a discussion on cricket. I do not think it should be an issue. This is a unique situation so I do not believe it should be required. It would be a tragedy if someone decided not to take up the passport because of an issue. I do not think players should be required to do so in this situation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I know the European Cricket Council has the requirement. Cricket Ireland does not want the requirement. It is something that perhaps the committee should consider for the other 64 bodies. Parent bodies have different rules and regulations. The requirement to have an Irish passport to play for the Irish hockey team should not apply because of the unique circumstances in Ireland. We should...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I have seen this in Kerry affecting women's Gaelic football. One might say that soccer, hockey, rugby, Gaelic football and hurling are competing sports. However, within each of those sports, women are being treated unequally for facilities, training time, pitch access etc. to the point where women often have to use inferior pitches. Is that something the women's hockey players are coming...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and Mr. John Treacy will be before us in a week to discuss the issue of pensions. Perhaps we could ask them to outline their proposals for the Government on Sport Ireland and pensions for high-performance athletes and Olympians. I have heard about pensions from the rowers and everybody else. Collectively, there are a lot of people involved. We...
