Topical Issue Debate: Military Aircraft (29 Jun 2017)

Clare Daly: I mean no disrespect to the Minister of State in saying his reply has an incredibly familiar ring to it, probably because I have heard it many times before. He will be aware that in a High Court case in 2003, Mr. Justice Kearns ruled that a neutral state may not permit the movement of large numbers of troops or munitions of one belligerent state through its territory en route to a theatre of...

Protection of Employees (Collective Redundancies) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2017)

Clare Daly: I certainly am not. Deputy Collins is probably out of Limerick longer than he feels he should be, so I will try to be brief. That is the best I will do. I am in some ways torn. I am delighted the Bill is going to pass Second Stage and I very much welcome that the Government will not oppose it. I hope this will be followed up by a quick progress into pre-legislative scrutiny and that...

Protection of Employees (Collective Redundancies) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2017)

Clare Daly: This is very good legislation. There is something incredibly sad about the fact it has become necessary as a result of the many cases that have arisen regularly, where workers have been victims of tactical insolvencies throughout the State. We should call them victims because they are victims. The most famous case has been Clerys. The conduct of that employer shocked everybody. Even...

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 1:In page 8, line 39, after “Office” to insert “and, when it is created, the index prepared and published under section 51L(2)”. As I was saying informally, this is incredibly important legislation. I am relieved we will not take Report Stage in advance of the recess because, in some ways, it is a little unusual that the pre-legislative...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2017)

The most costly elements, which must be...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2017)

Clare Daly: A great deal of work has gone into this matter, including by the judicial group on medical negligence and by legal practitioners, some of whom are with us in the Gallery, have been at the coalface of many cases in which injury payments have been made and desire to see us putting in place legislation that is robust and caters for people's needs.
