[8629/19]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hare Coursing (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: The Minister indicated previously that she agrees with us that there is some merit in considering the issue of microchipping hares at coursing meetings in order to protect them from being illegally traded or trafficked from one coursing event to another. I understand from replies to me that the Minister has asked her Department to examine this issue. Has there been any progress? Would the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hare Coursing (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: I am glad the Minister has confirmed that she is progressing with the idea of a pilot scheme for either this year or next year. While recognising that the opinion of the ICC have been sought already, I would ask how the welfare groups, such as Irish Council Against Blood Sports, ICABS, have an input. Can they now contact the Department? Is there someone they can talk to? Of course, the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hare Coursing (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: I thank the Minister. We have passed on specific allegations to the Minister and we will pass on more. I am sure the people watching will later on after this. The illegal trafficking of hares between coursing clubs has always been a problem. As the Minister stated, in theory, the uninjured hares are supposed to be released but quite often they are caught again and traded on, which is...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: The Tánaiste and I can both agree that the situation in Venezuela is very difficult. The economy is in crisis and the people are divided. While the Taoiseach believes the Donald Trump narrative that it is due to a failure of socialism, personally I am more inclined to believe the UN special rapporteur Alfred de Zayas who made an extended visit to Venezuela late last year and is, in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: Mr. de Zayas blames illegal US sanctions which he says have caused many deaths and aggravated, directly and indirectly, the shortage of medicines, including insulin, which are crimes against humanity which should be referred to the International Criminal Court. They are strong words from a renowned expert. Even if we do not agree on the causes of the problems, I am sure the Tánaiste...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: The Carter Center and others have recognised that the elections held in Venezuela were democratic, but there is a certain irony in people being concerned about the elections held in Venezuela when they have no problems with dictators in countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia. This is not about democracy and the Tánaiste did not in any way address the points I made about the situation...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: The Minister's handling of this entire Bill has been utterly shambolic. The residents who were in attendance last night, whose lives and health are on the line because of this, are shocked at the Minister's lack of knowledge and more particularly his lack of interest in these matters. The Chairman of the Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy O'Dowd, raised some very...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: If it is true, it should have been said on the floor of this House last week before we made the decision to appoint Fingal County Council as the competent authority.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: What I am hearing is Fianna Fáil expressing concerns about Fingal but facilitating a process whereby this House has already decided on Fingal in circumstances where serious questions now arise about Fingal's role in terms of it flagged to the Department its concern about that role. Residents who have requested information under freedom of information tell us that after that letter from...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 49:In page 11, line 18, to delete “FCC” and substitute “the CAR”. There are new circumstances; the Minister is refusing to answer questions. Fianna Fáil might want to change its tune.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: It is unfortunate the way this group of amendments have morphed a little bit and strayed. When this Bill was first drafted there was no facility whatsoever for residents to make representations to the competent authority. The Bill provided that the DAA could go to the competent authority and ask it to assess the situation. The select committee agreed with my amendments on Committee Stage...

Prohibition of Above-cost Ticket Touting Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: Amusing as Deputy Wallace's stories are, it is regrettable that we have to spend time dealing with a useless piece of what I call "soundbite legislation". I am getting sick at the number of times we have had to deal with such legislation. I am awaiting the introduction of a Bill dealing with apple pie, something to which no one could possibly object but which would not bring apple pie to...

Prohibition of Above-cost Ticket Touting Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: -----not medical errors. These are the issues. It is a case that has arisen. Unlike the previous four medical reports, the experts in this case were administrators who do not have medical qualifications. This woman was basically deprived of her livelihood. There are huge questions in respect of this case. Ms Canning has been dragged through a four-year discovery process by the HSE and...
