Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion (17 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: In fairness to Deputy Chambers, he has led on this issue. It is regrettable that the Minister of State will only be before the committee for a short time to deal with this. Having heard the comments of Deputy Chambers, I am even more worried about this issue than I was before the meeting because the Minister of State seems to be hiding behind interdepartmental responsibilities and is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion (17 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: The Bill is more an attempt to be seen to be doing something than to grapple with the bigger issue. The briefing notes provided by the Minister of State pitch it as a minor and technical issue, but he stated that it is far more than that. There is a contradiction between the written supporting material and the comments of the Minister of State. The private members' clubs have stated that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion (17 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: I ask the Minister of State to deal with the specific point made by those organisations, namely that they will be shut down under section 4(6), which states: "A gaming permit shall not be issued to a person—(a) for any kind of gaming in which by reason of the nature of the game, the chances of all the players, including the banker, are not equal". Obviously, all of the games that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion (17 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: I thank Dr. Fulton very much for attending. The difficulty we have is that she has given us very good research to add to the debate on why we need legislation. However, the person whom we could question about the legislation did not have enough time with us. Dr. Fulton is in an unfair set of circumstances in which we are just asking her to confirm the evidence she has given us. The person...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion (17 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: It is clear that advertising is used as the key hook to get people in and exposed. It is an addiction. It is put out there as a harmless bit of fun but once people are in that trap it is hard for them to get out. What would be the impact of a Government-led public health campaign? On the one hand, there could be the restriction of advertisements and, on the other, a public health...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion (17 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: I know Dr. Fulton's focus is on the health aspects. What about the Government's efforts to control the gambling issue and proposals in that area? Many large companies operate their servers offshore and thereby make it more complicated for the Government to control. Other countries operate IP blocking for unlicensed online operators and taking such an approach here would mean that companies...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (18 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: I support Deputy Brendan Ryan in that proposition. We have been on a long, tortuous route. On Tuesday, we put on the record at the meeting of the Business Committee the fact that we were faced with an unprecedented situation. The Government seemed to be hell bent on ramming this Bill through today even though the Seanad had not concluded its deliberations on it at that point. We spent...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (18 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: Can we reserve the right to re-enter this debate if that is not the case because a major part of the problem with the Bill has been the Minister's inadequate responses to Deputies' points on various Stages. I am happy to proceed on the basis proposed but if he does not respond as proposed, I will rise again on this issue.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (18 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: I know that. Any answer will do.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (18 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: In supporting Deputy Brendan Ryan we have to start from the position of how we got to where we are today. This Bill has been a through a long and tortuous process, particularly for those of us who represent the communities impacted most by aircraft noise. During the Second Stage debate in the House, many, if not all, of us on the Opposition benches made the point that to transpose the EU...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (18 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: So many points, so little time left in the debate on the Bill before us. I am not sure whether the Minister was trying to embarrass or help Fianna Fáil but I could feel the red faces from back here. Everybody knows that the Bill has been improved over a long process. One need not be a genius to know this; one need only go back and look at the record to know that the improvements that...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (18 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: It is a matter of historical record that the reason the amendments before us are not better than they were is that Fianna Fáil helped out and bailed out the Minister and ensured that Fingal County Council, rather than the preferred option of the rest of the Opposition and indeed the majority of the residents in the area, would be the competent authority. I refer to the Commission for...
