Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister of State back to the House and thank her for coming. I ask her to provide an update on the mental capacity Bill 2008. The Minister is, I am sure, well aware of the parameters of this Bill. My understanding is that it was to be published in April 2012. Could the Minister provide an update to the House about whether this is on target?

Mark Daly: That well known phrase "Evil prospers when good men stay silent" was epitomised in that television programme last night. No doubt, Cardinal Brady is a good man but he stayed silent when he needed to speak up. The reason he is a cardinal today is because he stayed silent. There is no doubt that if he spoke out in the Ireland of the 1970s----
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)
Mark Daly: I call on the Leader to allow an urgent debate on this issue. I know there is proposed legislation on this matter. We see that Fr. Brian D'Arcy and others are being silenced, as part of current church policy.

Mark Daly: This abuse is not just in the Catholic Church, but as Senator Norris pointed out, it is across society. Most abuse takes place in the home and is perpetrated by a family member. It is the silence and inaction of the church that allows the abuse to continue which is the grave crime. Anybody who hears about it is totally appalled. Will the Leader allow time for a discussion on the NAMA and...

Mark Daly: Senator Coghlan - my colleague, friend and fellow Kerryman - that Bill has been published. I can provide the Senator with a copy of the Bill, which is the NAMA and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Transparency Bill 2011. There is no transparency in the manner in which NAMA or its agents are doing their business. No one in Cork knew the land was for sale.

Mark Daly: I am asking that the Leader allow time for the introduction of the NAMA and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Transparency Bill 2011. We are asking NAMA to sell everything on the open market in accordance with legislation enacted by the Dáil and Seanad. I halved state on numerous occasions that NAMA is, under section 35 of that legislation, supposed to sell land in accordance with the sale...
