Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Developments in the Provision of Health Care Services in the Area of Termination of Pregnancies: Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and World Health Organization (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: Without making points, the discourtesy shown to people whom we have invited is unacceptable, regardless of their views. There should be an intervention to deal with that issue. It is not on.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Developments in the Provision of Health Care Services in the Area of Termination of Pregnancies: Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and World Health Organization (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I find the information provided incredibly helpful. Some of my questions have been answered and I will ask a few more. It is quite obvious that, regardless of our deliberations, the use of abortion pills by Irish women will continue and actually increase. The delegates have given us evidence that it is safe and cheaper. Has any analysis been made against the backdrop of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Developments in the Provision of Health Care Services in the Area of Termination of Pregnancies: Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and World Health Organization (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I was struck by Dr Ganatra's point about the issue not being about death or serious ill health to the woman, but that one looks at the question on the basis of the conditions under which women can access health care. That struck me as quite important. How does the WHO classify the issue of health and the definitions one uses in that regard? Based on what has been said Ireland would be very...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Developments in the Provision of Health Care Services in the Area of Termination of Pregnancies: Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and World Health Organization (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I think the witnesses' clear points strengthen the points they are making. They come from the background of public health. I note that last week the WHO released figures showing 25.1 million abortions in the world are unsafe. We are talking, largely, in this section although not exclusively about first trimester abortions, which the witnesses said are very simple and they can be provided...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Health Care Issues Arising from the Citizens' Assembly Recommendations: Masters of the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street and the Rotunda Hospital (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: The observation that services in the United Kingdom are under strain was made several times. Do the delegates have any particular concerns in that regard? I noted their points about the extra trauma caused to families by the need to travel. Has any consideration been given to the further trauma that would arise if parents have to travel beyond to the UK to a jurisdiction where English is...

Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: There has been much talk about what the Government is going to do, which is conveniently hard to measure, and I want to speak of some things the Government has done. I want to raise the issue of a particular group of pensioners and members of a pension scheme, many of whom are in my constituency and many of whom are in the Taoiseach's constituency. A number of these people are in the Public...

Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: All of the problems the Taoiseach identified at the start of his response really have nothing to do with the issues I raised in this context. The pot that is there now has money in it to be distributed. The problem is the failure of the Department of Employment and Social Protection to take on the unfettered power of trustees in pension schemes which has resulted in this trustee deciding,...

Other Questions: Irish Aviation Authority (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I feel almost embarrassed for the Minister and the unenviable position he is in because this is a catastrophic failure on the part of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. I could paper my house with the amount of replies I have received telling me that the IAA was best placed to be the competent authority to implement this regulation. In June the Minister told me the Attorney...

Other Questions: Irish Aviation Authority (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: What adds to the shock in this scenario is the fact that we actually highlighted to the Department the potential conflict of interest and the fact that some of the decisions that were being taken in Europe might lead to the IAA not being the best choice We are obviously very happy that primary legislation will be the vehicle to deliver these changes but it will be of huge concern to the...

Other Questions: Irish Aviation Authority (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I thought I had my time but I am more than happy to come in again. Can I?

Other Questions: Irish Aviation Authority (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: 9. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the IAA remains the first choice as competent authority under EU Regulation 598/14; if not, the reason therefor; and when the decision will be finalised in the context of the ongoing development of the new runway at Dublin Airport. [42143/17]

Other Questions: Irish Aviation Authority (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: This time last year, the Minister promised me that legislation would be before us by Christmas to give effect to EU Regulation 598/2014 installing the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, as the competent authority dealing with aircraft noise. In the year since then, the Minister has told us that it was the organisation best placed to do that job even though nothing is in place to bring that any...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Wards of Court: Discussion (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I apologise to Ms Farrell for being a little late. The rain in Dublin city makes everything grind to a halt. Perhaps some of our questions will be put to the representatives of the Courts Service because Justice for Wards has outlined very clearly the problems facing wards. On reading the documentation, I was struck by the point that it is unfair to compare the management of the funds...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Wards of Court: Discussion (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: The annual statements, despite their having been promised, have not been furnished.
