Seanad: Comprehensive Employment Strategy for People with Disabilities 2015-2024: Statements (16 May 2019)

Mark Daly: ...in Departments other than the Department of Health. It seems there is not only no urgency but also, possibly, no awareness among other Departments of the fact that they will be breaking the law of the land by not having facilities in place. It will become quite apparent, given there are only 12 months to go. We could learn a lot about this at the conference. Many Departments are not...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: ...now has re-traumatised the city and the families. A statement from the UK defence Minister this morning said the soldiers acted with courage and they were defending and peacemakers in Northern Ireland. We know people were murdered. Joan Connolly in Ballymurphy was shot three times in the face at point blank range but nobody was prosecuted for her murder. The British establishment does...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Feb 2019)

Mark Daly: ...moment is on climate change. Can we imagine the carbon footprint of this grain, maize and wheat that is coming from as far away as Russia to our shores? We have the people, the equipment and the land, and we are quite capable of producing it here ourselves. The irony in regard to barley, in particular, is that it is being imported in such vast quantities, it is being brewed and...

Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Statements (11 Jul 2018)

Mark Daly: ...is beyond question. He has a good grasp of the problems facing the Palestinian people when it comes to the settlements, the ongoing occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In 1980 Ireland was the first state to call for the establishment of a Palestinian state. We were on our own; nobody else supported us as nobody had thought of it at the time. We were seen to be ahead of the...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Apr 2018)

Mark Daly: ...in journalism, I think it would be fitting and appropriate that its own state Senate would acknowledge that. In light of the fact that the Senate has not done so, it would be appropriate for the land of the ancestors of the Cullen family to acknowledge their great achievement. I ask the Leader to support that motion.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: Thomas Francis Meagher not only ran for parliament, unsuccessfully, for Westminster in 1848, he was a leader in the rebellion in Ireland of 1848 for which he was put on trial for high treason.

Prior to sentencing the judge asked him if he had anything to say, to which he replied: "Well your honour, I give you my...

I know that he is busy working on the events that coincide with St. Patrick's Day which will present a great opportunity for Ireland to engage on foreign policy issue and also with the global Irish network. Given that the Minister is attending to important business in the North, there are issues about which we have concerns, including...

Mark Daly: ...affairs committee. President Higgins, who was then a member of the committee, was there too. We met a class of 12 year-old girls in a UN school in Bethlehem and discussed the issues regarding Ireland and our search for peace and the parallels with Israel and Palestine. While they are not exactly the same, the search for peace is the same in both cases. The girls spoke of their daily...

Mark Daly: ...a patent placed upon it by the State for its protection. However, the national anthem does not have any formal recognition in legislation by the State and is no longer protected by the law of the land. In fact, the Irish language version was never formally adopted by the State. I thank my fellow Kerry man, Senator Paul Coghlan, for chairing the Seanad Public Consultation Committee and...

Mark Daly: ..."confidential". When one compares it to the documents compiled for the Fresh Start agreement or the Stormont House Agreement, it is not comprehensive enough. We had members of the Northern Ireland select committee from Westminster here. They asked us what is left to be implemented and we could not possibly tell them that this was all we have. I ask the Minister to give a commitment to...

Seanad: Northern Ireland: Statements (11 Oct 2017)

Mark Daly: ...ask the Department to provide the committee with an actual line-by-line analysis of what needs to be done. We do not wish to force that request to a motion. The two recent elections in Northern Ireland have had a radical effect on the Good Friday Agreement and the peace process. The DUP vote was only 1,000 ahead of Sinn Féin, which had a dramatic effect on unionism. I have a...

Seanad: Naval Service Deployment: Statements (13 Jul 2017)

Mark Daly: ...in the position of developing and creating policy for security in the EU's area of operation who is wishing to replace the United States in that respect, so one must wonder about the concerns of citizens in Ireland around the less than wholesome objectives by our European colleagues. I do not doubt the Minister of State, the Government and the Irish people's commitment to assisting people...

Mark Daly: ...the 46 others who were in the foster home. In 1992 bruising and injuries were noticed on a another person living in the home, yet nothing happened and people continued to be sent to it. In a land where there are no consequences, things continued to happen and we hear the same thing over and over again. Committee Stage of the Corporate Manslaughter (No. 2) Bill will be taken in the House...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2017)

Mark Daly: The state of Israel is taking over Palestinian land and putting houses on it. It is a deplorable act by a democracy. We do not expect much of Syria or Iraq but we expect a lot more of the state of Israel.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Implications for Good Friday Agreement of UK EU Referendum Result: Discussion (27 Sep 2016)

Mark Daly: I suppose one of the startling facts about the situation relating to the Border is that there are more land crossings between North and South than there are between the EU and all of the countries to the east of it, which would make one mindful of the scale of the problem we face. I have one specific question, as colleagues have touched on many areas. On our position on the European Court...
