(2) The Commission shall...

Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: I understand that these amendments were discussed at Committee Stage. The idea is to introduce a levy on sound streaming and music sharing platforms services such as Spotify or Apple in a similar manner to the levy proposed for audiovisual media services. This money would then be used by the Arts Council to support Irish musicians and local radio. We took note of the concerns addressed by...

Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: I move amendment No. 50: In page 53, between lines 9 and 10, to insert the following: “(1A) (a) A television broadcaster or provider of audio-visual services that targets Irish audiences with advertisements shall ensure that of the total hourly time devoted to the broadcasting of advertisements on any service, at least 20 per cent of the advertisements shall be in the Irish...

Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: Baineann an leasú seo le cearta teanga, cearta oibtithe agus cearta comhionnanais. We have outlined on Committee Stage how RTÉ is paying Irish language workers up to 25% less for the same work as their English-speaking counterparts. This is discrimination, pure and simple, and it is unacceptable. We have a chance to enshrine equal pay for equal work in the law. It has been done...

Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: Tá eolas agam ar an sárobair a dhéanann na craoltóirí agus na hiriseoirí i Raidió na Gaeltachta, mar shampla. Chualamar cheana féin faoi na stáisiúin ar fud na tíre. Beimid ag lorg vótála ar an leasú seo.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe go léir, ach go mór mór Grett O’Connor, atá ó Chiarraí ó dhúchas, agus Diarmuid Ó Dálaigh chomh maith. Tá suim agam i gColáiste na Mumhan mar is iarscoláire mé. Bhíos ann i rang a sé. Is cuimhin liom a lán den am a chaith mé ann agus na scileanna saoil...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: An bhfuil an t-ionad agus na dormitories oscailte?

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: I will start with a procedural point. This Bill was announced as being approved by the Cabinet on 15 November, yet it took a full two weeks for a copy to materialise. We had pre-legislative scrutiny on detailed heads of the Bill but as we all know, the final version of a Bill can be much different. It would be better if the Government only announced Bills as being ready for approval when a...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Will the Minister provide an update on any plans the Department has to remedy the crisis in garda retention? There has been a significant issue with garda recruitment and retention for some time but it is getting increasingly worse. I am concerned that if this continues, we will be left with a significant shortage of gardaí, particularly in Dublin where numbers have reduced by 18%...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: I agree it is challenging work and many of the newer recruits look forward to that. However, we see that large numbers of the resignations are coming from those who were recruited since 2015. It was usual for six to eight recruits to leave per year but we are now in a situation where that number of gardaí are resigning every few months. Increasingly, gardaí tell me the job does...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: That is an interesting statistic the Minister has given. On a rough sketch of the numbers an increase from 0.5 % to 0.7% means an additional 280 gardaí retiring if the overall number is 14,000. Figures available from An Garda Síochána state that approximately 400 to 450 retire yearly and the number of new recruits is simply not covering the number of gardaí retiring....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Parole Boards (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Will the Minister for Justice provide an update on the establishment of an independent parole board?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Parole Boards (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: One of the objectives in the programme for Government was the establishment of the independent Parole Board, and I welcome the steps that were taken recently. I note that according to Radio Kerry the chairperson is a Kerrywoman. The process will now give a statutory right for the voice of victims of crime to be heard. This was desperately needed and is welcome. We cannot underestimate the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Parole Boards (6 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Given the acknowledged delays that are taking place, will the Minister of State consider providing extra resources in order to clear the backlog and address the meetings and speed things up? As the Minister of State said, they will meet more regularly to help clear any difficulties because the ultimate focus is that the wait facing the victim could have further impacts on a person's mental...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Rosemary Campbell is 88 years old. She is in failing health. She has been seeking truth and justice since 1977 when her husband, Joe Campbell of the RUC, was shot dead in Cushendall, County Antrim. Her family and I believe that elements of the security forces conspired with UVF killer Robin Jackson to kill her husband when he uncovered evidence of collusion with paramilitaries. The...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Pa Daly: Níl fadhb leis an mBille ná leis na leasuithe seo. Tá fadhb leis an próiseas áfach agus leis an easpa dualgais dháiríre atá ann. Níl aon dualgas ar dhochtúirí a rá láithreach go bhfuil ceart ag an othar i leith athbhreithniú Pháirt 5 maidir leis an diagnóis. Ba chóir go mbeadh córas tríd an...
