Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Naval Service Operations (9 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: ...refugees. I would have no problem whatsoever with the resettlement of 1,200 people, or many more, in Ireland. They would not have to be transported by the LE Eithne. Moving them to a direct provision centre in Italy or Malta is not the solution. Ireland has a part to play in that resettlement programme, way beyond what we have already offered. Whether we like it or not, we have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Directives: Minister for Justice and Equality (17 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: ...by the State to have sufficient means and then denied help. I am looking for an assurance from the Minister in terms of what level of sufficiency we are looking at. We know at the moment, in direct provision, the bed and board deduction leaves the asylum seeker with €21.60. Dear God. In any case, when we go to this system, are they going to be paying that cost plus a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Immigrant Investor Programme and International Protection Applications: Discussion (11 Jul 2018)

Clare Daly: ...which have been made for Syrians? I refer to the accommodation provided in Monasterevin where they get to know Ireland, learn English and meet people. It is an integration centre, rather than direct provision accommodation. Should we not make the same provision for family reunification? It seems bizarre that we do not. What happens when the 12-month period runs out, as it appears it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Immigration and Refugee Crisis: Discussion (14 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: ...return to the issue because we cannot have it both ways and argue one thing in Ireland and one thing in America. That is a very important issue the committee will pursue. We have not spoken about direct provision but the Minister of State responded to a parliamentary question I tabled about the number of children in direct provision. I asked the question given that we are coming up to...

Ombudsman for Children Appointment: Motion (11 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: ...public bodies that breach children's rights, and there is not enough of a deterrent currently. We must examine mechanisms to do this. The issue of children languishing - incarcerated, in effect - in direct provision must be addressed and there must be a lifting of the children's ombudsman's ability to investigate children's rights in direct provision scenarios. We all know the efforts...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: ...over the 12 weeks. I am particularly worried and I would hope the Minister would say how he envisages the situation of a woman in a domestic violence scenario or one who is coming from a remote direct provision centre is to attend the second appointment after three days. The Minister kind of led us to believe on Committee Stage that section 12 might be used to waive the waiting period...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: ...the timely use of personal health services to achieve the best outcomes for all women, regardless of their geography, economic status or other factors. What we should say in the Title is that people with disabilities, those in direct provision and those in any form of incarceration must be guaranteed access, and this is not mentioned currently. They should get the same care and it...

Topical Issue Debate: Refugee Numbers (14 May 2015)

Clare Daly: ...in Greece and Italy. The real issue is what condition those people will be in when they come to Ireland. Are we going to treat them as citizens with respect and dignity or will they be thrown into direct provision centres with others who have desperately sought asylum here? We have looked at this debate the wrong way around because it is not about charity or our being nice. Refugees do...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (Revised)
Vote 21 - Prisons (Revised)
Vote 22 - Courts Service (Revised)
Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (Revised)
Vote 25 - Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Revised)
Vote 41 - Policing Authority (Revised) (18 Apr 2018)

Clare Daly: ...;600,000 allocated to the Policing Authority should instead be given to GSOC to allow it to do the job that it wants to. The points have been made about that already. I have three quick questions. First, on direct provision, the Estimate for 2018 seems to be the same as the spend for 2017. Is that because the Government expects the same numbers of asylum seekers or is it the case...

Report of Joint Committee on Justice and Equality on Immigration, Asylum and the Refugee Crisis: Motion (28 Sep 2017)

Clare Daly: ...It is ridiculous and crazy that it should take so long to vet someone when there are many people who would happily such these young people into their homes. I will not echo the points made about direct provision. We met young people who had been in the system. They are fantastic people with so much to offer our society, but that we do not give them the right to work is criminal. We...

European Council Meeting: Statements (7 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: ...pat on the back for accepting 4,000 refugees, and I am glad that we are accepting them. I note that the Minister for Justice and Equality said last week that the refugees would not be put into the direct provision system, clearly acknowledging that the Government could not humiliate itself by allowing refugees and war victims from Syria to be put up in a few caravans in Mosney. That...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Jan 2013)

Clare Daly: ...providing social housing, which would be a much better way of resolving disputes. Contrary to what people think, the management and tenant resolution process is far easier within the scope of direct provision by local authorities. The local authorities are in a much better position to deal with these issues than the private sector. This Bill must be seen in that context, where there is...

Housing (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 May 2013)

Clare Daly: ...would be charged with the management of all housing accommodation. However, there are also significant dangers if sufficient resources are not provided. It also reflects a moving away from the idea of direct provision towards housing support which, in my view, is not adequate. We have already highlighted that the supports have been inadequate. People are moving from secure, relatively...

International Protection (Family Reunification) (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Dec 2018)

Clare Daly: ...She talked about a father who spent months frantically trying to track down his daughter, only to find out he could not apply because the 12-month limit had passed. We know of the people who spent years languishing in direct provision. If that was not bad enough, we have had the added trauma that as a consequence of the delay of those in direct provision getting their status, parents...

International Protection (Family Reunification) (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Dec 2018)

Clare Daly: ...are real. One relates to a Syrian who came here. By the time he found his daughter – she was a 19 year old – he could not bring her here because 12 months had elapsed. An African woman in direct provision was there for so long that one of her daughters was 20 years of age when she went to make the application. Her younger children would not come because they did not want...
