Select Committee on Social Protection: Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (17 May 2018)

Clare Daly: We have to be absolutely sure in law. I would be more reassured by something in the legislation than by listening to the submission from congress, which I did not know was infallible but I am interested that the Minister thinks it is.

Other Questions: School Accommodation (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: 48. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to fast-track the introduction of more classes and places for children with special needs in north County Dublin, particularly in the Skerries area, in which the provision at a facility (details supplied) is inadequate to deal with the emerging needs of the local community. [22397/18]

Other Questions: School Accommodation (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: The purpose of this question is twofold. First, there is an overall shortage of spaces for special needs education, particularly spaces for autistic children in the Skerries area in north Dublin. Second, residents are particularly keen to know where the new premises for St. Michael's House will be. This has been long promised but has been kicked to touch between the council and the...

Other Questions: School Accommodation (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: The Minister's colleague Senator James Reilly has raised this issue in the Seanad. I will not repeat the points made on the overall shortage of places. Residents in the area in question, who have organised into a group, as the Minister correctly stated, have identified at least 12 children from Skerries alone in need of places at national school level. Only six may have places, with...

Other Questions: School Accommodation (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: The technical issues were highlighted in a response from the Department to me and other Deputies from the area previously. Subsequently, I got back on to Fingal County Council and believed the blame was at its door. I was led to believe the technical problems with acquisition were mainly associated with the council but I received a communication from it yesterday to assure me it has taken...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: It is indicative of the difficulty we are in; we are moving whatever amendments we have in this category. This is a seven minute slot because we have not spoken but there are multiple different and contradictory amendments. Some are better or worse, and we could rank some of them in a scenario of what we would like. We were somewhat thrown by the public announcement that Sinn Féin has...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: I put it to Sinn Féin that if there is a good argument for incorporating sentencing changes into this Bill, we can all take those points on board, learn from them and I am sure we would be open to supporting them. However, that is entirely different to going behind the scenes and horse trading in advance of this session. If Sinn Féin genuinely wants to have the presidents of the...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: I genuinely do not understand this. We voted today to have a body with 13 members. A proposal for such a body came from committee. On Committee Stage there were 13 named individuals for the 13 places. That was reaffirmed by the result of the vote on amendment No. 8 which went against the Government's suggestion of 17 members. Amendment No. 10, essentially, added three positions, thus...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: Should that amendment have been ruled out of order, given that we had voted to set the number of members at 13? We cannot add up the sums at the end because they already do not add up now and we are just compounding the problem as we go on.

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 13:In page 10, to delete line 27.
