Clare Daly: 498. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if her attention has been drawn to the fact that up to 20 years of homecare credits can be used under the 40 year TCA 2012 while there is a limit of ten years for other credits such as unemployment and illness in contrast to the National Pensions Framework, which envisaged a standard approach applying to the various...

Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: It is absolutely incredible in some ways that we are dealing with a situation where the coronial service is operating under legislation dating back to the 1960s and in spite of the considerable changes that have taken place in society since then, we have not been able to get our act together to modernise the legislation. I am aware that secondary legislation behind the scenes did change the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Garda Operations (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: We must be very conscious that this incident has set back public confidence in An Garda Síochána considerably. That is my starting point on this issue. We have as the backdrop an unprecedented housing crisis, whereby people, including families, are homeless. That the Garda organisation, whose motto is supposed to be "to protect and serve", rallies around those carrying out an...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Garda Operations (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: There was a certain irony in the situation that developed in Frederick Street North after the new Garda Commissioner had come out and called for transparency in the service. That appalling incident then occurred where we had members of An Garda Síochána wear balaclavas to deal with citizens. Under the Constitution, the owner of the site had a right to organise to have her property...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Regulations (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: I have studied all of the documents from the Minister's briefing. I note his point that he is confident that he is on schedule. We will take that it up with him in time. The Minister did not, however, respond to my question on what he will do if, in the period of consultation and the coming before this House of the legislation, this House does not agree with the Government's decision to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Regulations (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: The Minister says he is making the preparations, but in doing so he is spending a lot of public money that might be wasted. If he were really making the preparations, he would have brought forward the legislation to this House as the first step. Ireland is an outlier in that it is taking a different route from most of Europe. I note that the Minister used the term "similar" rather than...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Regulations (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: 8. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the progress and timescale of the legislation for the establishment of the competent authority under EU Regulation No. 598/14. [37715/18]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Regulations (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: I am wondering where is the legislation to establish the competent authority under EU Regulation No. 598/14. I pose the question particularly in the context that Fingal County Council is advertising a Dublin Airport noise action plan and operating as the competent authority, which, as we know, is the preference of the Government. However, the authority has not been given that power in law....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rail Services Provision (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: 6. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the action taken by him to address the fact that Iarnród Éireann’s new timetable has reduced the service to commuters in Portmarnock. [37718/18]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rail Services Provision (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: I am shocked that we are only concluding priority questions now, at 11.20 a.m. I assure the Minister that I will be sticking to the allotted time and I hope he does too. Like other Deputies in my constituency, I had to spend the summer, especially the last two weeks, dealing with very irate Portmarnock train users who were the victims of a so-called improvement in Iarnród...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rail Services Provision (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: As the Minister says, Portmarnock now has the same numbers. I put it to him that this is as a result of the outcry from commuters, which had to be articulated by public representatives, and the week or ten days of nightmare they had to endure. He might also note the fact that the evening service has not been restored and is not up to par. No one expects the Minister to micromanage...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rail Services Provision (19 Sep 2018)

Clare Daly: I would suggest that it did not. I can tell the Minister that it was not very fast for the people who were on the front line dealing with this issue solidly for the past week or indeed for the passengers who had to endure it. I have never said that the Minister should micromanage the service, but presumably as the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport he has a role when the national...
