Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I agree with the Chairman's comments. It is beyond shocking the way this committee has been treated in terms of dealing with this issue.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

The problem is that, one and a half years ago, the Minister did not oppose the Bill but made a statement saying she would like the provisions to be enacted. Now they will not be enacted. There will be a delay to their enactment unless we get concrete assurances that this will be dealt with by...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Arms Trade (16 May 2017)

Clare Daly: It is clear, despite that it has not been publicly acknowledged by Government, that Ireland voted for Saudi Arabia to be part of the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The question beggared belief with many people, given Saudi Arabia's record on women's rights and human rights.
