National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)

Clare Daly: We know it is a matter of public record that the Taoiseach has said he changed his position on mandatory open disclosure on the basis of the advice of his officials.

Tragedies happen and they will continue to happen, but the issue facing us as a society is how we respond to those mistakes and tragedies, how we treat the victims of those mistakes and tragedies and whether we learn the lessons. I find the shock and horror expressed in some quarters a little hard to take. The saddest thing about this...

Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 May 2018)

Clare Daly: That is correct. We need to see Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan's Bill in the wider context of inequality on a global scale where the poorest countries are at an enormous disadvantage.

Public Private Partnership on Capital Infrastructure: Statements (26 Apr 2018)

Clare Daly: I may be sharing time with Deputy Broughan if he comes back in time. If he does not, he may share with Deputy Joan Collins. We will get there in the end.
