Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: If the Minister asked the questions Deputy Wallace has asked and sought the answers to them, we would have an exercise in public accountability far better than anything we have done in our terms here. I agree that the political theatre this afternoon on all sides of the House has been utterly demoralising. This morning I was with front-line staff in the CervicalCheck unit in the Rotunda...

Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: From the Seanad (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: February seems a little bit early for flip-flops but we have another one tonight from our good friends in Fianna Fáil. I am absolutely sickened but not surprised. This follows what bordered on abuse that was meted out to Deputy Jack Chambers the last time around. Having fully engaged in all of the discussions around this issue, he listened to the arguments and convinced his party to...

Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: From the Seanad (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State is right because the only point on which I would agree with him is that this has been a long road. I am not going to repeat the points ad nauseam. The Minister of State's understanding of what our amendments meant is fundamentally flawed. The fact is that all he has relied upon is the Attorney General's advice, which we cannot see. The latter is a bit "old hat" now...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: I had this amendment passed on Committee Stage, and I welcome that it was passed. I appreciate the input of the officials who tidied it up a little for this Stage. It is as technical as the Minister says. I think it is fine.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: It is a weird grouping.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: This grouping is problematic. Amendments Nos. 54, 67 and 73 are fine, as has been said. They concern the consultation with the local representatives in the area and are purely technical changes to improve the Bill. However, amendments Nos. 44 and 45 and probably amendments Nos. 47 and 48 in the next grouping all deal with the health issue, and the problem is precisely as Deputy Broughan...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: The situation remains a little confusing and we should be discussing the amendments collectively. On the Minister's point that the statutory instrument would not take precedence over EU regulation, legislation or whatever, the specific point is being made by referencing the statutory instrument in our primary legislation. We are giving it a legislative effect that would, in essence, negate...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: This is a substantial part of the Bill and health has been a considerable part of the discussions that we have had during the passage of this legislation. We have to be honest that the directive provides for consideration to be given to health implications. Nobody on this side of the House has ever denied that that is the case. It is provided for and there are references to the 2018...
