Seanad: Commencement Matters: Care of the Elderly Provision (9 Jul 2015)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply. I note the issue with regard to the data collected and the fact that two short-stay beds are currently vacant but the real need relates to long-stay beds because that is the function of a community nursing unit. I have information about a person who will need a short-stay bed following a fall at mass last week when it took one hour for the ambulance to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Jun 2021)

Mark Daly: I thank Senator Burke and before I call on the Leader, I join him in wishing Ann and Mary all the best in what will hopefully be a long and happy retirement. Their long and excellent service to Leinster House is well known by all of us. When one rings the switchboard, they are always very professional and courteous. It is great that Leinster House offers a service where human beings answer...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: No, there was one cheque. The FAI got an email the day after it was looking for the money. There was one cheque and the FAI knew it was coming. For how long did it know it was coming? How long did it have to pay it? For how long was it legally obliged to pay it? The cheque was made available by the former CEO and lodged, ready to be used if it came down. Did it have to be paid by that...

Mark Daly: ...by Jonathan Hall Associates? Did the other 12 available accounts cumulatively contain €100,000? The FAI seems to have been anticipating a bill of €100,000. The bill was expected. For how long did the association know the €100,000 was hanging over it and that it did not have the money to meet the debt? What was the bill for? I know the witnesses will not tell us...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Defence Forces Strategy Statement 2017 to 2020: Department of Defence (5 Oct 2017)

Mark Daly: .... Every other European country has some form of interceptor jets. I would agree the Irish people would abhor spending €50 million or €100 million on jets that would have no real value in the long run. However, some form of multi-purpose helicopter, more often used for civilian assistance and rescue and patient transfer, would probably be something that we and the public...

Seanad: Mutual Recognition of Driving Licences (19 Jul 2012)

Mark Daly: ...doing some research on the issue and cannot guarantee the outcome. Logic would suggest our driving test is not dissimilar to that in England. If England can do it, we should not have to wait too long. We do not need to send anybody to Canada to research the issue; all we need is to send them to London. The research should be pretty much the same as the standards there are similar to...
