Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Organ Donation Data (28 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: I am glad the Minister of State did not read out the full reply, which, I know, was not written by him. It is ridiculous to say that under current EU rules on data protection we need the permission of the applicant to share the data because the Minister has already shared the data with eFlow, the courts and the Garda. The Minister can do it, and has done it. I refer to the Minister giving...

Mark Daly: I am not shooting the messenger.

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: I am sure colleagues will join me in wishing one of our most esteemed members of staff, Mr. Donal Hickey, well in his retirement tomorrow. He has been courteous to all of us in our time here. We wish him a long and happy retirement. He is retiring to Kerry, which is always a great idea. When he gets there, I will be sure to show him the bakery run by the three Moriarty brothers which shut...

Mark Daly: The Leader might call for Deputy Martin to come in and apologise.

Seanad: Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland: Statements (27 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Tánaiste for coming to the House and taking this important debate. I know the case of Patsy Kelly has been raised already. That is only one of the many legacy issues. They are referred to as legacy issues but they are still murders. They are simply uninvestigated murders in many cases. A historical inquiries team was set up to investigate many of these but they really...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Mar 2019)

Mark Daly: I look forward to the Leader organising the debate on the Commonwealth. It is an interesting discussion, which has nothing to do with who is or is not a member. The issue is the value of the Commonwealth. Those who have spoken to me about it query its relevance in this century. Its importance in the previous century is probably overstated as well. It is important to some on this island...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Mar 2019)

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

Mark Daly: I support my colleagues on the taking of the fisheries Bill. It needs to be done correctly. While the delay is unbelievable, it does not mean we should rush without proper consideration. On the news out of Derry this morning and the decision by the British establishment to make a scapegoat of one soldier, the order for what happened in Derry in 1972 went way up the chain of command. We...

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

Mark Daly: Based on the release today of the Irish importation figures for grain and maize, I was startled to see that wheat imports in 2018 were up 40% to 428,000 tonnes, maize imports were up 43% to 1.6 million tonnes and barley imports were up 105% to 372,000 tonnes. The Deputy Leader will be aware the Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine last year produced a report on the crisis within the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)

Mark Daly: I will be one second. I am sorry for being late. I was watching on the monitors but had to attend a meeting. I share Deputy O'Keeffe's concerns.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)

Mark Daly: I share the concerns. I have read the submissions and my concerns are about roll-out and restrictions which may be prohibitive. I thank the witnesses for sharing their information. It is vital that we get this right.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Impact of Brexit on the Good Friday Agreement: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Mark Daly: I join others in congratulating the Tánaiste on his hard work and that of his officials. We all support their efforts. His recent trip to the US was a great success, in that it galvanised Irish America. The support of Congressman Richard Neal and the House Ways and Means Committee is enormous, as it sent a message to the UK that Irish America and its powerful position on that...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. John Horan (29 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: I congratulate Mr. Horan and thank his wife, Paula, and Jack and Liam, his sons, for their role in his success. It required a lot of sacrifice, not only from Mr. Horan but from the family too. I thank them and acknowledge them for their service and their sacrifice. I also congratulate Mr. Horan on being the first genuine Dub to be president of the GAA. As coincidence would have it, Mickey...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jan 2019)

Mark Daly: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business that No. 20, which is leave to publish the national anthem Bill, be taken before No. 1. We approach the 110th anniversary of the composition of "The Soldier's Song" which was later translated into "Amhrán na bhFiann". As a key symbol of our State, it is worthy of protection and respect. Other key symbols such as the flag are provided for...
