Seanad: Order of Business (15 Sep 2011)

Mark Daly: -----that the Government made many promises to the people and has managed to keep less than 10% of them. It was not elected to blame the previous Government, rather to fulfil its promises to the people. I note that the first item on the Order of Business is on international democracy day and the Arab Spring, but I also note from the Order Paper that there is a Government motion that this...

Even though the then Minister, former Deputy Noel Dempsey, came under much pressure last...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Sep 2011)

Mark Daly: I agree 100% with my colleague. It would be great if the citizens of Donegal and other Border counties had a vote in the North of Ireland because, if so, we would have a united Ireland in the morning. I do not think that Ian Paisley, senior or junior, or any other members of the Democratic Unionist Party would be in favour of that, however. I agree that citizens in the North should have a...

Seanad: Order of Business. (21 Sep 2011)

We will have a very useful question and answer session with the Minister for Arts, Heritage and...
