National Minimum Wage (Low Pay Commission) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Second Stage (24 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: It is almost embarrassing to be standing here discussing this measure. It is probably fair to say that if James Connolly was not already worn out from turning in his grave, he would be going into a massive tailspin. Let us face it: this is a cosmetic exercise, a pretence at dealing with the reality of poverty experienced by workers in this country that sees half of the population on...

Criminal Justice (Mutual Assistance) (Amendment) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (24 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: There is a bit of "Here we go again" with yet another criminal justice provision. It is getting tiresome and repetitive. It reminds me of the slogan, "No justice, no peace". We would be better off spending our time examining the conditions that gave rise to international terrorism and destabilisation, the break-up of areas like the Middle East and the role of Western imperialism therein...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Overseas Missions (25 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: 3. To ask the Minister for Defence if he will explain his previous responses that the Irish Defence Forces were not involved with Operation Triton in view of the fact that Frontex, which runs the operation, says that we are involved, and his comments to the media that Ireland has agreed a new military mission with other European countries, involving the disruption of smuggling gangs, which is...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Overseas Missions (25 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: This question follows on from previous ones. The Minister is developing quite a reputation as a bit of a hawk. There is a major contradiction between what he has just said, what he said on the last occasion and what he said on the airwaves and in other public statements. When I asked during our last Question Time whether it was appropriate for LE Eithneto take part in a Frontex operation,...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Overseas Missions (25 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: Absolutely. I will be delighted to. It is incredibly convenient that when we point out that Frontex claimed Ireland is a participant in Operation Triton, that claim is now deemed a mistake on Frontex's part. Was its comment that we were one of the 26 European countries taking part the only mistake? Were there other countries in respect of which a mistake was made?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Overseas Missions (25 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: After a session on the last occasion, the Minister went on the George Hook radio programme and said:What we have also agreed along with other European countries, including the UK, is a new military mission, which will be partly around search and rescue and monitoring. But also, phase 2 of that will be to try to disrupt, disassemble, and tackle very well-funded people-smuggling...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Overseas Missions (25 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: It is word for word.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Overseas Missions (25 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: If one plays back the interview, one will realise it is quite clear the Minister was talking about Ireland. He said, "We [...] along with other European countries, including the UK". Therefore, he is not talking about the European Union but about us in Ireland, along with our colleagues in Europe. It is a decision for Ireland. The Minister said: "We have agreed a new military mission." I...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Military Aircraft Landings (25 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: 5. To ask the Minister for Defence his views regarding whether Defence Forces personnel were present during the landing of the United States of America Air Force KC135 mid-air refuelling aircraft, number 80106 from Alabama Air National Guard at Shannon Airport on 14 June 2015; the reason for their presence; the nature of duties undertaken; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25232/15]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Military Aircraft Landings (25 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: On 14 June, a US Air Force KC135 mid-air refuelling aircraft from Alabama landed at Shannon Airport. There is no possibility that this aircraft is not involved in military action because its purpose is to refuel military aircraft. Were the Defence Forces personnel called to that, who called them and what was their function on the day?
