Protection of Life in Pregnancy (Amendment) (Fatal Foetal Abnormalities) Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: I might even take a bit more time as the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, in doing his arithmetic on the allocation of time, miscalculated and left some of the Deputies short of their time. However, I will try not to stray too far off the ten minutes. I am the person proposing this legislation, and I understand it perfectly. I will not have the Minister use the comments of some people who spoke...

Protection of Life in Pregnancy (Amendment) (Fatal Foetal Abnormalities) Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: That is not what we are discussing, however. The Bill before the House is extremely narrow in scope and deals with the very limited circumstances. Aspects of this morning's debate have been marked by the most abstract, twilight zone-type aura. It is absolutely mad. A couple of weeks ago we tabled a proposal to repeal the eighth amendment and the people who voted against that proposal are...

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: In about an hour's time the Taoiseach will frogmarch his backbenchers in here to vote down my Private Members' Bill, a Bill designed to support families who receive the devastating diagnosis that their pregnancy has a fatal abnormality incompatible with life. My Bill enables them, if they feel they cannot continue with that pregnancy, waiting for the baby to die, to terminate it here in...

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: Will the Taoiseach publish the Attorney General's decision so we can see it? Does he think it appropriate that highly paid parliamentarians are expected to come here to vote on such critical issues like nodding donkeys without full possession of the facts? At the very least, may we have the date of the opinion and confirmation that it relates to my Bill and not other generalities? Finally,...

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: The Taoiseach's retort, or lack thereof, is an absolute insult to the families enduring this issue. It is the people’s Constitution and laid down in law is the fact that only this House can bring in legislation and only the courts can interpret it. How dare the Taoiseach attempt to have the arrogance to interpret the Constitution when it is only something that our courts can do?

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: That is a fact. We have had bodies that are hardly the most radical, such as the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, Amnesty International, the National Women’s Council, the Irish Family Planning Association, as well as multiple legal people, telling the Government that this can be done under the Constitution. The Attorney General is one person. The Taoiseach is correct that...

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: Why not publish it so?

Order of Business (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: Wrong. Obviously, the Taoiseach did not read the PP v.HSE judgment.

Clare Daly: 8. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the role of his Department in the potential sale of the State's shareholding in Aer Lingus to IAG, the International Airlines Group. [5608/15]

Other Questions: Aer Lingus Sale (11 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: There is no doubt that this is an absolute twilight zone because the Minister's protestations bear no link to the reality experienced by the public. My question concerns the proposed takeover of Aer Lingus by IAG. Thousands of workers in north Dublin, Cork and Shannon are very worried about this proposition. According to media reports, the Labour Party is upset and worried about this...

Other Questions: Aer Lingus Sale (11 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: I tabled a question to the Minister for Finance who, as the Minister, Deputy Howlin, correctly said, is the shareholder, but he would not even answer that question. He transferred it from the Department back to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. What we have in the answer to this question is the idea of sharing responsibility or off-loading it, depending on what way one looks at...
