Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: On this rare occasion I agree with my colleague from Kerry, Senator Coghlan, regarding bringing the Minister, Deputy Deenihan, to the House to discuss the matter of Killarney House. The Cloyne report was published yesterday and I agree with Senator Heffernan's request that the papal nuncio be asked to address the House and so afford him an opportunity to apologise to the families and victims-----

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: It is and I ask the Leader to make that possible and to offer the invitation because the papal nuncio and the Vatican have a lot of explaining to do to the people of Ireland. Senator Heffernan also spoke about the victims. Forty victims gave evidence to the inquiry. I refer to a report from the Journal of Interpersonal Violencewhich carried out a substantial study of child abusers who are...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: I refer to the motion in the House last night which was a motion on activity and not on action. There was the preposterous situation where everyone in the House talked about precautionary principles. Senator Crown supported the Fianna Fáil motion-----

Mark Daly: Last night it was stated on the record of the House that we did not have a Bill available.

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: We said we would put the Bill on the Order Paper on Monday and the Leader is aware of this. I ask him to correct the record of the House because Fianna Fáil would have had that legislation down and the House would have been debating legislation, not motions, last night-----

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: -----and we would have made this House relevant.

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: I support Senator Mac Conghail's call to invite former President Robinson to the House to give her views on her visit to Africa. The Horn of Africa is facing its worst famine in 60 years. A total of 10 million people in Somalia, Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya face starvation. Given our own history, the view of Africa from this side of the world is probably similar to the view the Victorians...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: I join with my colleague from County Kerry in seeking a discussion on Valentia hospital. Senator Norris is welcome to come back tomorrow evening to attend a meeting in Valentia about the future of the hospital. This boils down to the famous, all-powerful organisation HIQA that seems to write reports or, in the case of Roscommon, not write reports. This is then used by the HSE and the...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: The leader of the Labour Party group raised the matter of the daily prayer. I assume revelations arising from the investigation into events in the Catholic diocese of Cloyne are being used as an opportunity to raise this matter.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: Will the Senator indicate whether it is Labour Party policy that the daily prayer be discontinued?

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: The Progressive Democrats Party once tried to take God out of the Constitution; now the Labour Party wants to remove the morning prayer. I realise it is a republic but in America-----

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: -----official Government documents contain the phrase "In God we trust". In that republic, they have not gotten rid of God. Perhaps Labour Party Senators opposite will talk to the Deputy Leader and see if they are being led and whether they knew the proposal was coming before the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
