Care Services: Motion [Private Members] (18 Dec 2012)

Clare Daly: I am being asked to withdraw the word "lie" in reference to the claim that the choice was between a cut in the respite care grant and a cut in the carer's allowance. That is a lie.

Care Services: Motion [Private Members] (18 Dec 2012)

Clare Daly: The comment was untruthful.

Care Services: Motion [Private Members] (18 Dec 2012)

Finance (Local Property Tax) Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2012)

Clare Daly: It does, and everyone else touched on every other subject under the sun, in fairness. I know it is late in the day and we are all getting grumpy. This is reflective of the fact that the Government has ruthlessly guillotined the debate on the most draconian legislation to come before the House. The Minister might think he can get away with it inside the House but he certainly will not get...
