Leaders' Questions (1 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: I want to discuss the prestigious, internationally recognised multi-billion euro horse racing industry, which is considered to be one of the jewels in Ireland's crown and where, behind the glistening exterior, lurks a world of vicious exploitation, wholesale and deliberate illegality, ruthless vested interests and criminal behaviour, without any proper oversight or regulation. Tens of...

Leaders' Questions (1 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: The Taoiseach is correct that I have raised detailed points to which I would not expect him to be able to respond today but I do expect him to follow up on this matter. This is a task beyond the Taoiseach. The wholesale illegality is an open secret in the industry. It will not be sorted by any one individual or agency. It requires a multi-task force to intervene to ensure that our laws...

Clare Daly: I am very glad that we are having this discussion. It is one that society has engaged in. In some ways we have moved on, and in some ways we have not.

As a society, we have advanced. We have moved from the...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: Our amendments in this group are amendments Nos. 5 and 8. I also am sorry that the Minister has not taken on board the points made on Committee Stage and inserted the disability-neutral language that has been very much sought after by disability advocacy groups, while removing the reference to protected persons.

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: I do not agree that the Minister's approach is a functional one. It is a status based approach. She talked about having an obligation under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in relation to the word "protected" but that is out of context. The context is that we have an obligation to provide protection for the rights of people with disabilities, not create a new...
