A parliamentary question was tabled on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Reappointment of CEO of Horse Racing Ireland (27 Sep 2016)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Reappointment of CEO of Horse Racing Ireland (27 Sep 2016)

Clare Daly: That gets to the heart of it. We have repeated correspondence stating the decision was ratified by the Department based on a business plan from the board.

However, that does not, for example,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Irish Sign Language: Irish Deaf Society (28 Sep 2016)

Clare Daly: Now I am under pressure and I have to rush everything together. With regard to Senator Mark Daly's point on the issue being a priority for the deaf community, it is also a priority for the committee. It is the first equality issue that we have tabled.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Authority: Discussion (28 Sep 2016)

Clare Daly: In some ways this is a slightly difficult session because the Policing Authority is relatively new and everybody is on a learning curve, not least the authority.

Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring was here last week and was very frank about the legislative shortcomings that stifled her organisation's...
