European Council Meeting: Statements (5 Jul 2016)

Clare Daly: In the concluding notes from the European Council meeting, I noticed that the only reference to Brexit was a one-liner stating that the UK Prime Minister informed the European Council about the outcome of the referendum in the UK. I would say there was a hell of a lot more talking done about it than that, but it gives one a glimpse behind the scenes. There is no doubt that the Brexit...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Human Rights Issues (5 Jul 2016)

Clare Daly: Deputy Wallace thanks the Ceann Comhairle for facilitating my asking this question. He is on his way back from a funeral in England. This again relates to the EU-Turkey deal. I do not believe that it was ever a safe place for refugees or a good deal, but given the number of civilians who have been shot by the Turkish authorities attempting to flee Syria, does the Minister, Deputy Flanagan,...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Human Rights Issues (5 Jul 2016)

Clare Daly: The Minister is quite correct that the reports are incredibly worrying, but they are unsurprising. The fact that the Turkish regime has denied them or said it was doing everything in accordance with a plan is a bad sign rather than something to take comfort from. The EU is saying: "Tut tut, lads. We're really not too happy with what you are doing here." The problem, however, is that it...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Unaccompanied Minors and Separated Children (5 Jul 2016)

Clare Daly: In regard to the unaccompanied minors and the Minister's point that they will most likely come from Greece, I take it that he means they are most likely Syrian. Deputy Wallace raised previously with the Minister the possibility of investigating what could be done in respect of the large number of unaccompanied minors coming from Afghanistan. The Irish Red Cross, which acts as a intermediary...

Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (5 Jul 2016)

Clare Daly: I welcome the Bill which is a vital piece of legislation to protect workers' rights. I was struck by the comments of the former Minister, Deputy Kelly, when he spoke about this side of the House joining the Labour Party's track record on these issues. However, the reason we are here and why this legislation is necessary is precisely because of the hollowing out of workers' rights which took...
