Mark Daly: I call on the Leader to respond to the Order of Business.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2021)

Mark Daly: Under the Constitution, the European courts are not under our jurisdiction. Therefore, what Members say about courts in other countries does not come under my remit. I am taking the precedent from rulings of the Chair in respect of policy. This is the important part. This House is about debate and about people discussing the issues of the day. Members may and should talk about issues in...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2021)

Mark Daly: Thank you. By the way, this is a forum for debate so I am quite happy to engage on the issue of a point of order. I call Senator Crowe.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2021)

Mark Daly: That is why I made the clarification. The issue is if you make somebody or a case identifiable. When Members bring out the detail of a case, for example, an 83-year-old lady, that would stray into the area where it would make the individual case identifiable. However, for the benefit of the House I will circulate the ruling from previous Cathaoirligh and from the Chair in the Dáil. I...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2021)

Mark Daly: Thank you. I am glad Senators raised the issue because it is helpful to every Member to understand. The issue here is making sure that anything that is said in this House is not used to prevent some victim in the future getting justice because something that is said here is used by a criminal as a defence in an appeal case or it prevents the DPP from pursuing a more appropriate sentence....

I have also received notice from Senator Mary Fitzpatrick of...

Seanad: Gnó an tSeanaid - Business of Seanad (23 Nov 2021)

Mark Daly: Before I call the Leader to outline the Order of Business, I wish to inform the House that Christy Kelly in the Oireachtas print facility is retiring after 40 years of service to us all. He is one of the great gentlemen of Leinster House. He does a lot of quiet work and helps out Members in all sorts of ways in trying to get their message out. We all know how hard it is to communicate in...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Nov 2021)

Seanad: Children in Care and Children Leaving Care: Statements (23 Nov 2021)

Mark Daly: Because the Senator has such vast personal experience in this area, I am not cutting her off. The Minister would benefit and I know he knows a great amount in this area. It is important people like the Senator, who have great knowledge, are able to bring those stories to the Minister and say what is working and what is not working. I call the next speaker, Senator McGreehan.

Seanad: Gnó an tSeanaid - Business of Seanad (18 Nov 2021)

Mark Daly: Before I call on the Leader to outline the Order of Business, it is proper that we acknowledge the national day of one of our EU colleagues. Latvia declared independence on 18 November 1918, after centuries of a turmoiled history. As two small European countries that have struggled for independence in those early years of the 20th century, we always share a historical connection. The...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by An Taoiseach (18 Nov 2021)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Taoiseach. If only he received applause like that every morning. In the course of his service as a public representative and in public life, he has, by any measure, made major changes in the posts and Ministries he has held. Of course, one of the posts he has not held is that of Senator, so we are delighted to welcome him to the Seanad, even for a few hours. Since he was...
