Mark Daly: On the issue of e-tendering, can other non-EU countries e-tender for the witnesses work within the European Union? I know they have advice from the British Government saying that is possible but does it happen elsewhere?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)
Mark Daly: Those guidance notes do not refer to issues such as northern Cyprus as an example where companies in that jurisdiction are able to e-tender for jobs in southern Cyprus-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)
Mark Daly: They certainly do not go into much detail. I wanted to ask about that because Deputy Breathnach makes a valid point about the issue of companies from the North being able to e-tender for public jobs in the South. I cannot imagine how the European Union would allow a country which is outside of the European Union and is able to use unfair advantages and make up its own rules for itself and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)
Mark Daly: I presume that the job will be done to a specific standard. The question then comes into employment law and if they no longer comply with European employment law or regulations, then there would be an unfair advantage in that sense. We have seen that being clamped down on, for example, with Turkish workers being brought in to work on motorway schemes here which the EU had to clamp down on....

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)
Mark Daly: Deputy Breathnach raised the issue of the VAT rate and it was answered. I wish to ask about the Chinese visitor numbers and the common visa with the UK. What percentage of those who get a UK visa, which makes them eligible to come to Ireland, make the trip? What are the impediments to them coming? Mr. Gibbons referred to English tourists. Obviously Brexit will have a big impact on that...

- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Sep 2018)
Mark Daly: We read about the predictions of growth from the ESRI and that it will be near 10%, depending on who is doing the numbers. Yesterday, we had the UN human development index showing that Ireland had jumped from eighth in the world to fourth in terms of health, education and income, which is to be welcomed in terms of life expectancy, educational attainment, health and people's wages. We also...
