Seanad: Social Welfare Bill 2024: Second Stage (22 Oct 2024)

Mark Daly: Minister, I have been here many years and I have never heard anyone get as much praise as you have, while you are still alive.

When people on the other side of the political aisle are giving you...

Seanad: Statute Law Revision Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)

Mark Daly: I note as well it is repealing an Act in 1855, "Proclamation warning persons engaging in treasonable designs or attempts that they are liable to be apprehended and dealt with as traitors".

Mark Daly: I thank Senator Conway for taking the Chair while I ask this question and I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, for coming to the Chamber to take this question. It is about an issue that affects many Irish emigrants who return home.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Driver Licences (24 Oct 2024)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for his response. On the issue of political will, we can see what happened in Canada as a result of one individual, our ambassador, taking the issue on board.
