Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Oversight and Accountability: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)

Clare Daly: Unfortunately, acting Commissioner Ó Cualáin is not here, but Mr. Nugent might ask him to pass this information on to us. He made a number of public statements around the time of the expulsion of the Russian diplomat to the effect that he had been involved in security assessments with the Defence Forces that led to evidence that this person should be expelled. Were any of our...

Public Private Partnership on Capital Infrastructure: Statements (26 Apr 2018)

Clare Daly: I may be sharing time with Deputy Broughan if he comes back in time. If he does not, he may share with Deputy Joan Collins. We will get there in the end. I am very glad to have the opportunity to speak on this subject because there are huge ideological issues underpinning this debate. There is a certain irony to the situation. We hear an enormous amount about, for example, the role of...

National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)

Clare Daly: Mistakes happen no matter what systems are in place. Tragedies happen and they will continue to happen, but the issue facing us as a society is how we respond to those mistakes and tragedies, how we treat the victims of those mistakes and tragedies and whether we learn the lessons. I find the shock and horror expressed in some quarters a little hard to take. The saddest thing about this...

National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)

Clare Daly: We know it is a matter of public record that the Taoiseach has said he changed his position on mandatory open disclosure on the basis of the advice of his officials. The Minister also has received similar advice, as have I. That advice was against best international practice and evidence. When we asked the Department and the Chief Medical Officer when we met him what was the evidence...

National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)

Clare Daly: The Minister was sent out with that advice but it could have been brought in before now. In terms of litigation, the Minister will be aware that outstanding liability claims against the State for 2016 amount to €2.2 billion. Some 87% of those liabilities rest with the HSE and Tusla, an amount of approximately €1.9 billion in terms of claims. It is patently obvious that...

National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)

Clare Daly: None of those Acts and actions the Minister has taken have addressed the fundamental structural issues behind that. While I note some of the concerns of other Deputies about the HIQA inquiry, I am not necessarily opposed to it. However, I absolutely believe that if we are going to get to the bottom of this that we need something along the lines of the Cartwright inquiry in New Zealand. If...

Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 May 2018)

Clare Daly: That is correct. We need to see Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan's Bill in the wider context of inequality on a global scale where the poorest countries are at an enormous disadvantage. There is a certain irony in that last week on Private Members' business we were discussing the shortage of nurses here because we do not pay them enough, which has led to us basically hoovering up valuable medical...
