Paul Daly: Enough said.
- Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2017)
Paul Daly: I would like to ask the Minister about an issue that is related to the Bill and it ties in with what the previous speaker said. What does the Minister consider the role of Waterways Ireland to be in general with regard to this Bill and with regard to its functionality in future in a Brexit scenario? Is there something we should be addressing here? Are we speaking somewhat hypothetically?...
- Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2017)

- Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2017)
Paul Daly: I will be very brief. To go back to what I mentioned earlier on Brexit, I still believe there will be problems down the line. We have to look at funding and how feasible, in the case of a hard Brexit, it will be for Waterways Ireland to have its head office in Enniskillen, outside the European Union. It is something we need to keep a very close watch on. I welcome the extension of the...

Paul Daly: In fairness to the Minister and the officials from the Department, the best way I can put a response on earlier comments about the briefing is "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find".
- Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2017)
Paul Daly: I understand this debate is due to adjourn at 5 p.m., at which point we will have deliberated for seven hours on this Bill but we will still be a long way off concluding Committee Stage. I am prepared to stay here longer. In fairness to the Minister, she has now spent seven hours in this Chamber. This is Committee Stage. This Bill has yet to go to the Dáil and it will then return to...
- Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2017)
Paul Daly: I agree with the point made by Senator Higgins. If legislation is sufficiently important it should be progressed quickly.
- Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2017)

- Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2017)

- Seanad: Domestic Violence Bill 2017: Second Stage (1 Mar 2017)
Paul Daly: When is it proposed to take Committee Stage?
- Seanad: North-South Interconnector: Motion (1 Mar 2017)
Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House but I seek clarification from him on where this situation is from a Government perspective. One Department of Government is flagging Ireland's Ancient East. It is pushing the area as the east's answer to the Wild Atlantic Way with our beautiful scenery and our historical locations. At the same time we have a Department that wants to spoil all that...
- Seanad: Developments in Organic Sector and Greyhound Industry: Statements (22 Feb 2017)
Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the Chamber. At the outset, I would like to put on record my annoyance at the fact that these two sectors were coupled together. They are both very important sectors within the agriculture brief and they are well deserving of their own slot. It smacks of getting them over with. By coupling them, it limits the amount of time we have to converse on both of...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Animal Disease Controls (16 Feb 2017)
Paul Daly: As the Minister of State for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Doyle, is aware, there is a serious outbreak of the H5N8 avian flu. Only yesterday, the ninth case was confirmed. I compliment the Minister of State , the Minister, Deputy Creed, and the Department officials for the swift and appropriate action they took to minimise the effect of this bird flu within the Irish poultry...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Animal Disease Controls (16 Feb 2017)
Paul Daly: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate that this situation is unprecedented. As the Minister of State rightly pointed out, those of us who have an interest in the sector are all living in hope by virtue of the fact that until the last two confirmations, the birds affected were migratory birds. It might have been a question of living in hope somewhat and the expectation that they would...

Paul Daly: I thank the Minister of State for being on the case.
