Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Bill 2012: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (17 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: I agree fully with those comments. I have a question on the amount of interest, a question which also came up on Committee Stage. On the €110 million ceiling, the interest that has already accrued on the moneys on deposit should be treated separately. Nothing in this amendment should alter that scenario. The fund as it stands now is €110 million plus the interest that is there now....

Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Bill 2012: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (17 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: As the Minister has reiterated on a number of occasions, this fund arose from the cross-party motion and the need for the State to deal with the needs of survivors of residential institutions. The debate we have had has opened many scars for the survivors who have had to deal with many issues. All of us received e-mails and distressed phone calls from many of those people who have been...

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (18 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: I am certainly going to pick up from where Deputy O'Sullivan left off. I hope it does not upset the Ceann Comhairle.

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (18 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: As Deputy O'Sullivan said, the purpose of this Bill is to allow somebody with a hunting licence issued after 1 August 2009 to carry on shooting wild birds and hares in the relevant open season. That is what it is about. It brings the issue of the welfare of hares to the forefront. It invites us to consider whether it is appropriate to treat them in this way. I totally agree with what...

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (18 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: Okay. Fair enough. I imagine we will have an interesting commentary from yourself when we get to the actual coursing Bill.

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (18 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: Clearly, you have an opinion on the matter all right.

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (18 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: Okay, you do not then. I do not know what your opinion is on the matter.

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (18 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: Okay. I am saying that in my opinion, the comments I am making are relevant because we are talking about allowing people with hunting licences to go out and shoot hares for five months of the year whereas-----

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (18 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: -----for 12 months of the year, we are allowing hares to be used in a coursing environment. We have to see it in the context of the protection of this species. I would like to mention some of the commentary that has been made by the Irish Wildlife Trust, which is the foremost authority on this subject. It is a conservation organisation that uses all the relevant scientific data and...

Renewable Energy (19 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: Question 9: To ask the Minister for Communications; Energy and Natural Resources if any cost benefit analysis has been carried out to determine the possible advantage of semi-State led development of the world's best wind and wave renewable energy resource off the Irish coast using EIB loans; and if he will instruct that such a cost benefit analysis be organised. [35738/12]

Renewable Energy (19 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: The Minister's response is disappointing and seems to contain contradictions with the Labour Party's energy revolution policy proposal. In opposition, the Labour Party had identified the enormous potential of wind and wave power on environmental grounds and in terms of job creation. Some 20,000 jobs in ocean energy, 10,700 jobs in wind energy and 7,000 jobs in construction were talked about...

Renewable Energy (19 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: The 40% target was agreed upon when the Labour Party was in opposition. Unfortunately, the figures show there has been some slippage since then. The point is that we have a hugely undervalued potential resource. As the Minister observed, wave energy is hugely expensive. Although its development is essentially in its infancy, it is progressing well and there is no reason that we cannot be...

Renewable Energy (19 Jul 2012)

Clare Daly: I can guarantee the Minister that I will.
