Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Humanitarian Assistance for Household Flooding: Discussion (13 Jan 2016)

Jim Daly: I acknowledge that a lot can be perception and reality and that somewhere in between we can get to the actual facts. It is accepted that in 2012 there was a minimal amount of money out of this scheme - if I remember correctly and it was noted afterwards - for the amount of damage that was done in the floods that year. Second, I would query the position with regard to there being no...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Humanitarian Assistance for Household Flooding: Discussion (13 Jan 2016)

Jim Daly: I understand. However, if someone advises them that they are ineligible, that is the equivalent of a refusal. I mentioned the issues relating to bed and breakfast accommodation. I appreciate that people may have been misinformed because they may have read something in a newspaper and took it into their heads that they would be ineligible. There is no accounting for what people do. Would...

Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Education and Skills: Technological Universities Bill 2015: Committee Stage (14 Jan 2016)

Jim Daly: I would like to support the Chair's comments. I think a recommendation from the committee should carry more than just that. I welcome the Minister's commitment to review it and I also share the Chair's passion for it. Community representation is not exactly the same as democratic local authority representation. I would like to see local authority representation on ETB boards. Previously,...

Public Sector Standards Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Jan 2016)

Jim Daly: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill. The investment of an additional €150 million in the tourism sector is a very good story. However, I must ask who knows about it. We are inside in our little bubble but there is very little traction for this in the real world. I have my own view on how Fáilte Ireland does its job and it is not always positive. I have some...
