Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: Yet it is not a credible document.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: On the legislation proposed since the Olympic Council of Ireland debacle, will there be any change to the way sporting bodies will be governed? Almost every year there is a scandal about a sporting organisation. The Sports Council does not have all the powers. It cannot go into an organisation and start opening filing cabinets. We discussed previously the question of having such powers....

Seanad: An Bille Sláinte (Caomhnú agus Cosaint agus Bearta Éigeandála eile ar mhaithe le Leas an Phobail), 2020: An Dara Céim - Health (Preservation and Protection and other Emergency Measures in the Public Interest) Bill 2020: Second Stage (20 Mar 2020)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming into the House. Dr. John Crown, who was in this Chamber for five years, has been speaking extensively on this issue. We should all listen to his guidance because he is speaking based on what he is seeing happening in Italy. He is talking to people there and what is happening is nothing short of a war zone. We have to take that advice and not delay by five...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: I thank the father of the House. Senator David Norris is, of course, a man we all admire, although not necessarily a man we all agree with all the time. While we differ on many things, and while I know he is a Joycean scholar, at one stage in his long political career he quoted the great Samuel Beckett with regard to being relentless and tenacious, a point also referred to by the former...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: I invite anyone who wishes to speak to indicate. I am delighted that all the Senators are here and I congratulate them all for getting to Seanad Éireann. I will most certainly do anything I can for them. I call on my good friend, Senator Ó Donnghaile from Belfast, and commiserate with him.

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: If the Senator would like a recount, that is no problem. We will facilitate that.

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: I thank the Senator and join him in praising Billy Lawless and his work on behalf of the diaspora all over the world, including the 40 million in the United States, including the undocumented, for whom he worked so hard. I also congratulate the former Deputy, John Deasy, who worked with him in that regard.I too share Senator McDowell's disappointment that Ian Marshall is not here with us...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: I thank the Leader. I have been getting the running order wrong. I call Senator Bacik.

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: I thank Senator Bacik. I call the former leader of the Fianna Fáil group, Senator Catherine Ardagh, who served the Fianna Fáil Party so well in the previous Seanad.

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: I thank Senator Ardagh. I also belatedly thank her for the three votes in her house. We spoke earlier about standing on the shoulders of giants so we also remember Senator Ardagh's father today. He was a great public servant and her family have been true champions of public service through the years. Senator Ardagh's name was also on the sign language Bill for the deaf community. I thank...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: Thank you, Senator Buttimer. When we meet again at the next Munster final, please God, the words of Samuel Beckett will no doubt be ringing in your ears about trying harder and failing better. I am going to call on the Green Party's Senator Róisín Garvey whose father I once canvassed in a Seanad election. It might be a dark family secret, but probably not in Clare, that her...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: Absolutely.

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: I thank Senator Garvey for her work during the pandemic. I know that you were in your community delivering provisions, messages and water even to the members of your community. That is truly public service at its most fundamental. You showed that in your community, as a member of the council. No doubt that you will show it here too. I thank you for your kind words. I call on the man...

Mark Daly: I thank the Senator.

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (29 Jun 2020)

Mark Daly: I thank the Senator. You are a ferocious campaigner yourself. Anyone who can get elected in two constituencies simultaneously in any election is not to be underestimated. I call Senator Mullen.
