Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: We have heard some very clear evidence today, but accusing academics of flouting fair procedures - an accusation the board has levelled against the two visiting professors - is an incredibly serious charge which should only be put with evidence to back it up. I have not seen any evidence in any way to undermine the work done by the two professors. Does Professor Kilkelly support their...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (30 Jan 2019)

If we are to ratify it in a meaningful way, we will have to take steps that are meaningful. What we...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: This pertains to the Juries Act 1976. I will refer to section 1(1)(a) of this Bill. I have not yet tabled an amendment to this part of the Bill but I will do so. It relates to the provision of Irish Sign Language, ISL, interpreters to allow a deaf person to serve on a jury. I welcome that greatly. We should include those who are hard of hearing with those who are deaf. Additionally, an...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (30 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: I agree with that. We should put it in now. I take issue with the Minister of State's point about a citizen's right to a fair trial as if somehow the measure we are proposing or debating on these issues would undermine a citizen's right to a fair trial by having somebody with disabilities on the jury. The precise point of the amendment is to remove the wording which states "have sufficient...

European Defence Agency Project: Referral to Select Committee (5 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: It feels like hardly a week passes without the Dáil being asked to approve some fresh assault on our neutrality and I am absolutely sick of it. The motion before us might not be the worst of them but certainly the one we debated earlier was among the worst. We cannot see the present motion in isolation. Earlier, we heard that the Government has let the Irish State be bullied into...
