Private Members' Business. School Guidance Counsellors: Motion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2012)

Clare Daly: Like the cutbacks in DEIS schools, which we debated in Private Members' time last week, this issue shows that the Government has taken part in the butchery of our education system. Decisions have been taken that are short-sighted and narrow-minded and will have a serious impact on young people growing up in Ireland today and on society as a whole. Measures such as the one we are debating...

Building Regulations (24 Jan 2012)

Clare Daly: I echo the point that this is a modern disaster. It is an absolute tragedy for the families concerned. They have been evacuees from their homes for more than 100 days now. As we sit here not a single thing is being done to rectify those homes. Work is not being undertaken and they are no nearer to returning to another home. They do not want to return to the home they had because it could...

Building Regulations (24 Jan 2012)

Clare Daly: The Minister is correct; he is not responsible. However, the system did not make adequate provision. Somebody is responsible; the residents certainly are not and the Minister is in the unique position of being able to assist them. I do not accept that he cannot step in until the legal process is over. If Dublin City Council wins the legal proceedings, as is likely, and is released from...

European Council: Statements (24 Jan 2012)

Clare Daly: It is clear that the key issue before the European Council is that relating to the austerity treaty. In a certain sense, we are operating in something of a vacuum because we have not seen the final draft of the treaty. However, we have a fair and clear idea of what it is going to contain. An article in today's Financial Times indicates that Frau Merkel of Germany has decided that she may...

Clare Daly: I move: "That Dáil Éireann: notes that - the Government intends to pay €1,250 million to unsecured Anglo Irish Bank bondholders on 25 January, 2012; - these bondholders are anonymous speculators, many of whom bought Anglo Irish Bank bonds at between 50% and 80% discount and who stand to make huge profits if they are paid full face value for the bonds; - the Government intends to make a...

Employment Rights (25 Jan 2012)

Clare Daly: Question 6: To ask the Minister for Jobs; Enterprise and Innovation the legislative measures, if any, he intends to introduce to prevent scenarios such as Vita Cortex and La Senza whereby places of employment are closed without prior warning being provided to employees and without provision being made for statutory or enhanced redundancy terms. [4108/12]

Employment Rights (25 Jan 2012)

Clare Daly: The Minister's answer is not good enough. He has merely outlined the status quo and the backdrop against which the scandalous decisions have been made by employers to leave workers with nothing, without notice of closures which are sprung on them deliberately to evade the making of statutory redundancy payments. This is happening within the legislative framework outlined by the Minister,...

Employment Rights (25 Jan 2012)

Clare Daly: The Minister has avoided many of these issues which have not been sorted. Some La Senza workers are not being paid social welfare for the days of the sit-in. Tens of thousands of workers are waiting for statutory redundancy payments. Some cases came in under the radar before Christmas. The Minister has made a lot of points about the industrial relations machinery of the State, such as the...
