Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (13 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: I would like to hear clarification from the Minister. I would like to hear what she perceives the consequences of the amendment being omitted to be. I have heard everybody else's opinion, but what would be the consequences if the amendment was not accepted today?

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with former Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern (6 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome the former Taoiseach, Mr Bertie Ahern. His experience, as has been outlined, is invaluable. If he were in a negotiating position now, where would he be aiming to start his negotiations on our behalf? While my experience would be more akin to horse trading or cattle dealing, I presume when one goes into these types of negotiations that it is a similar concept where one goes in...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with Dundalk Chamber of Commerce (6 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome Mr. Gaynor and thank him for his comprehensive report. I appreciate that part of his presentation in positive, even if it is only one paragraph. Sometimes in these types of circumstances negativity takes over, we develop tunnel vision and focus only on negatives. Not to be undone by Senators Joe O'Reilly and Neale Richmond, as a racehorse owner and chairman of a local race...

Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I will pursue our amendment No. 3b. I have listened with great interest and intent. This is our third time here to discuss this Bill. If nothing else, as the Minister told a previous contributor, she may not have commented on everything but she has been listening and has come today with a lot of information and new points which unfortunately would have been very beneficial had they been in...

Paul Daly: I second that proposal.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Organic Farming Sector: Discussion (28 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome the members of the delegation and thank them for the very comprehensive report. In particular I welcome Mr. Pat Lalor, my fellow Kilbeggan man. He has put Kilbeggan on the map with his porridge. It is always a pleasure for me to walk into a shop or even pass through the airport and see my home town's name on the shelf. It would not be there without the great work of Mr. Lalor...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Common Travel Area: Department of Justice and Equality (23 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I wish to be associated with the good wishes to the Chairman in this important process, which commenced this morning. I also want to be associated with the good wishes and sympathies expressed to those slain and injured in Westminster yesterday. Before I entered the Chamber, it was announced that one of the injured bystanders was Irish. That is the kernel of the topic of today's...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Common Travel Area: Department of Justice and Equality (23 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I do not want to come across as negative but, considering worst case scenarios, if there is a hard border how does the witness see us handling the common travel area for our European friends who can come to Ireland but cannot go to the North?

Seanad: Reports on Motor Insurance Costs: Statements (22 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State and I welcome the report and its recommendations. The key issue now is in its implementation. I do not know if the recommendations go far enough. If we go to the bone on this issue, we know that it is compulsory to have motor insurance so what greater business is there to be in, selling a product which is compulsory for consumers to buy? The insurers can...

Seanad: Commission of Investigation (Certain Matters Relative to Disability Service in the South East and Related Matters): Motion (9 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I completely support what Senator Ruane has just said. We sometimes take inquiries and commissions of investigation as being the be all and end all and the answer to everything. There was wrongdoing. We will have another inquiry or commission of investigation. While this is ongoing, the matter seems to be forgotten about and activities that are equally as bad can happen, particularly in...

Seanad: Commission of Investigation (Certain Matters Relative to Disability Service in the South East and Related Matters): Motion (9 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: It goes on and on and on. There is an old saying in this country when we have let something happen that should not have happened - we are closing the door when the horse has gone. Lately, we seem to be closing a lot of doors when all the horses are nearly gone at this stage. This case is so sad and moving. The commission of investigation is welcome, as are the terms of reference, but we...

Seanad: Sea-Fisheries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (8 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister. Fianna Fáil supports the Sea-Fisheries (Amendment) Bill 2017. The Bill puts the voisinageagreement, concluded by the Governments of Ireland and the UK under the London Fisheries Convention 1964, into primary legislation. Under the voisinageagreement, Northern Ireland-registered fishing vessels are allowed to fish within Ireland's exclusive fisheries limits...
