Mother and Baby Homes: Motion [Private Members] (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: I move:That Dáil Éireann, having been made aware in recent times of the activities in Mother and Baby Homes that operated throughout Ireland in the twentieth century: notes: — the ill-treatment of the mothers and babies in these homes; — the forced separation of single mothers and their babies from 1922 to 1998; — the falsification of birth certificates and...

Mother and Baby Homes: Motion [Private Members] (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: It will be no surprise to the Minister that her response to our motion has undoubtedly added to the pain and trauma of the survivors of these institutions. Her response is completely and utterly unacceptable to this side of the House. It can be summed up as follows. It is asserted first that this is an incredibly complicated process which needs a great deal of time to work out and second...

Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: All of these amendments concern giving GSOC officers the same power as gardaí when they are acting as coroner's officers. As the Minister has explained, the amendments are for circumstances where it is more appropriate for a GSOC officer to act as an aid to a coroner, for example, where gardaí might be suspected of involvement in a death. I am happy to support all of the...

Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: These two amendments are at the heart of the issue. This is where we diverged from the Government on Committee Stage. Of course, I am absolutely delighted there has been a change of heart on that side and that the Government now agrees with us that inquests must be 100% mandatory with no discretionary loopholes through which cases might disastrously slip. I am also delighted that the...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (Resumed) (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: There certainly has been strong engagement across the House on this Bill over a period. As a result of that engagement, we succeeded in winning votes on a number of vital amendments on Report Stage. With the help of Fianna Fáil doing a flip-flop, the Government succeeded in having some of those important amendments overturned, which is why we are where we are today. Insulation is...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (Resumed) (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: Some of the points I made on the Bill were general in nature and some of the points of correction Deputy Darragh O'Brien raised with me were correct. I was trying to find my bearings in this body of work. In line with Deputy Broughan, some of my comments were about the overall Bill and not about this particular amendment. On the amendment, while it is probably better to have it in the...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (Resumed) (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: I had not realised amendment No. 3 to amendment No. 4 was out of order. That means there is no mention whatsoever of the voluntary buy-out scheme and the points we were making that this would address some deficits in that scheme. Is it not the case that without Deputy Troy's amendment No. 3, that does not apply? I would like a further explanation. It looks like a gaping hole.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (Resumed) (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: I do not have the Bill here, so what are the provisions in the Bill on the voluntary buyout? Is there any mention of it in the Bill?

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (Resumed) (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: Is the voluntary buyout specifically mentioned anywhere else?

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (Resumed) (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: On page 52?

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (Resumed) (15 May 2019)

Clare Daly: Where is the protection then for people who are already suffering from the inadequate voluntary buyout scheme that is currently in place? Is there any capacity to have that improved? I know the Minister can say the DAA could decide to do that if it likes, but is there a requirement in legislation on the competent authority that would enable it to improve the voluntary buyout scheme as it...
