Permanent Structured Cooperation: Motion (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: Patently, the fact that we are here is not an exercise in democratic scrutiny by the House. It is nothing more than a manoeuvre to avoid effective scrutiny of this measure, not just by this House but also among the broader public. There is no doubt in my mind that this is happening because the political establishment has learned lessons from the last time people were given information - on...

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: The best medical and practical advice the Government could take is to recognise that the State has just agreed to pay out substantial damages to a member of the Defence Forces who has been harmed by the use of Lariam. Against a backdrop where 42 members were prescribed the medication last year, why in God's name are we continuing to do this when there are other viable anti-malarial drugs on...

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I am glad the Tánaiste acknowledged the risks taken by members of our Defence Forces. Last week the State settled the first Lariam damages case by a member of the Defence Forces member. It is a very significant event in the Action Lariam campaign, which has been ongoing for several years. The plaintiff, Mr. Anthony Cole, stated he was delighted, giving an indication of the substantial...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I echo the remarks of sympathy and I thank the witnesses for coming in. I will be relatively brief because I am getting a bit sick of these meetings, and I do not mean that in a derogatory way. This is the third sitting we have had on the same events. The first time we sat here we got the apologies and explanations. We were told systems were in place and they were going to be dealt with....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I have other points on the checkpoints. How can the witnesses explain the patent disparity between what they said here on the previous occasion when I put these issues to them and how the Crowe Horwath report absolutely vindicates all those questions, which they vociferously denied? That is my first question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: The problem I have with that is that I am just a member of the public and I knew it was going on. I am not particularly bright, but it did not take a whole lot of work to figure out that had to be one of the reasons it was going on. We have two problems with the response. One is that the Garda commissioned an internal report that did not pick this up and did not acknowledge it existed....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: The report also denied the fact that any pressure was put on by management in this regard, a finding that was completely contradicted by Crowe Horwath's report, which said it was exactly that pressure to report performance that was at the back of it. That is what it states and I am just repeating it. I have it in front of me. This is in direct contradiction to what the witnesses stated....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: Does the assistant commissioner deny-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: There are two problems with the assistant commissioner's reply.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána (7 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: The problem with that response is that the denial was not about checkpoints but that this was a major contributory factor to the elevation of breath tests. That was not dealt with in the original internal report. The statement that lessons have been learned is somewhat undermined by Assistant Commissioner O'Sullivan's point that the problem was caused by a lack of supervision, a lack of...
