Clare Daly: 25. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht when the recruitment of additional conservation rangers to monitor animal welfare issues at hare coursing events is likely to take effect in view of the fact that the new season is under way. [36868/16]

Other Questions: Hare Coursing (29 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: This question comes against the backdrop of the fact that the coursing season has been under way since last month. Last year, NPWS officials only visited 17 of the 75 official events. When I asked the Minister of State about it last month, he told me they had not inspected any official events at all this season, pointing out that only eight had taken place. I remind the Minister of State...

Other Questions: Hare Coursing (29 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: It is very unfortunate that we have received confirmation that the new officers will not be in place. I disagree with the Minister of State.

Last month in Loughrea in Galway online footage showed a hare...

Other Questions: Hare Coursing (29 Nov 2016)

In that vein, I am appealing to the Minister of State in light of the revelations about the events that occurred in Rathdowney this week...

Clare Daly: The Harding Clark report into the symphysiotomy redress scheme has been described as deeply skewed, profoundly unfair, subjective and selective, intellectually dishonest, morally bankrupt, replete with false allegations, omissions, distortions, misrepresentations and contradictions, and biased throughout. Those who said that are being soft on Judge Harding Clark whose report cannot go...

Topical Issue Debate: Symphysiotomy Payment Scheme (29 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: I have to say that there has been a certain rewriting of history again. We know that the majority of survivors never accepted this redress scheme to begin with. The Minister of State is dodging the key elephant in the room, which is that this report goes one step even further from that. It is riddled with factual inaccuracies, unverifiable anecdotes and is severely damaging. It is well...
