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...

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

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)

Paul Daly: Exactly. I said I would prefer if we could do that rather than come back to it another day.

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

Paul Daly: A statement was made. It was said that because the Seanad has little legislation to deal with we should spread what we have thinly.

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...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Animal Disease Controls (16 Feb 2017)

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

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Animal Disease Controls (16 Feb 2017)

Paul Daly: On the overlay, there would be a condition that we could revert to the original label.

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Feb 2017)

Paul Daly: I support what Senator Black has said. I was in utter shock last night when I saw the off the cuff, almost comical and satirical remarks of President Trump on this issue. He did no favours to anybody on any side.

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Feb 2017)

Paul Daly: I would like to raise an issue that was covered in an article in the Evening Heraldregarding the seizure by An Garda Síochána of a large number of Taser guns from an organised crime gang. I welcome that seizure and I am delighted we can send a positive message back to the gardaí in light of what has been happening in the last few days. I am delighted that they have a positive...

Seanad: Annual National Transition Statement on Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (15 Feb 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister to the Chamber. Fianna Fáil has a strong record in introducing progressive measures to tackle climate change which is perhaps the single greatest threat to the future of our children and grandchildren. By contrast, the Government has repeatedly ducked and dived in tackling climate change. Its policies lack a strategic vision and have fundamentally failed to...

Seanad: Action Plan for Rural Development: Statements (9 Feb 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House. As a fellow rural dweller, she will be very much aware of the struggles of rural Ireland, which I would regard as being in dire straits. I note that in her speech, she said that this plan would enable rural Ireland to further grow and thrive but in order to allow something to further grow and thrive, it needs to already have grown and rural Ireland is in...
