Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Driver Licences (24 Oct 2024)

Mark Daly: I thank Senator Conway for taking the Chair while I ask this question and I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, for coming to the Chamber to take this question. It is about an issue that affects many Irish emigrants who return home. Often their driver licences are out of date and they have to take the driver test again, even though they may have been driving for 20, 30 or 40 years....

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Driver Licences (24 Oct 2024)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for his response. On the issue of political will, we can see what happened in Canada as a result of one individual, our ambassador, taking the issue on board. On the response that the RSA determined that such an agreement would not be possible without putting in danger road users in Ireland, that is a wholly unacceptable response in that all of those states...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Oct 2024)

Mark Daly: Before I call the Leader to outline the proposed Order of Business, I welcome the Austrian ambassador, H.E. Ms Melitta Schubert. Austria will be celebrating its national day at the weekend. We are truly honoured because the ambassador is a descendant of the composer, Schubert.

Seanad: Statute Law Revision Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)

Mark Daly: I note as well it is repealing an Act in 1855, "Proclamation warning persons engaging in treasonable designs or attempts that they are liable to be apprehended and dealt with as traitors". One references "the distribution of prizes taken during the Russian War", which is not this particular outing but the 1854 version of the war in Russia. There a few on Sierra Leone and others. They are...

Seanad: Social Welfare Bill 2024: Second Stage (22 Oct 2024)

Mark Daly: -----retire from public office, but hopefully not public life. She has been a great advocate for her county and community throughout her public career and was also a great advocate during her time at community level. I am sure this will continue.
