Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I thank all the witnesses for coming here, although I found their remarks utterly depressing. It is brilliant that they decided to come here because this is such an important area. Our failure to deal with it, as a society, is so enormously damaging that there is an imperative on all of us to listen to the advice that we are being given, and act on same. The saddest part is that some of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I do not want to dwell on it. Many of the points on section 47 must be seen in the overall context of the lack of training and all the other points that might address the deficit more so but I stick to my point that in the present scenario there is a power imbalance between the parents and the person who does the report. This is just a fact from my experience. A parent who does not agree...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: On shared parenting arrangements, the figures for the number of children who end up in shared parenting situations are shocking. Is this a practical decision on the part of the courts because, say, one parent lives in a big house with the children and the other lives in a one-bedroom flat because of our commodification of housing in this State? Do middle-class families fare any better in...

Clare Daly: My favourite Leas-Cheann Comhairle overlooked me. Shocking.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (7 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: This question relates to the gap in legislative protection for seasonal migrant workers. I am aware that this is not solely the responsibility of the Minister. There is also a role for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection. We are talking about incredibly vulnerable workers on short-term contracts who come into the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (7 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I believe this is a time bomb. In the next period there will be explosive revelations about the mistreatment of seasonal migrant workers as a consequence of the lack of regulation. These workers are often very vulnerable. The issues that have been highlighted include the use of unregulated agencies; improper and possibly unlawful charges and levies being applied to the workers concerned by...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (7 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: Exactly.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (7 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: The problem is that there is a regular flow of migrant workers, specifically in the agri-food sector, who are tied into accommodation agreements which they have no choice but to enter into. They then find themselves stuck in bad accommodation, with money being deducted from their wages and no way to question the legality of these arrangements. There are serious issues related to the...

Local Drug and Alcohol Task Forces: Motion [Private Members] (7 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: When the Taoiseach launched the national drugs strategy, Reducing Harm, Supporting Recovery, in 2017 he said: "The issues highlight the need to intervene effectively." I could not have put it better myself, but that is exactly what has not happened. We have the policy, but no action and no resources to realise it. In that sense, Deputy Joan Collins's motion before the House is a good one....
