Seanad: Order of Business (18 Apr 2018)

Mark Daly: Will the Leader ask the relevant Minister to come to the House to discuss the advertising campaign that was axed, as outlined in the Irish Examiner? The fact that two out of every five people in Ireland know someone who is experiencing domestic violence is obviously a concern for everybody but another concern is how taxpayers' money was used in formulating a campaign that has since been...

Seanad: Northern Ireland and 20th Anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement: Statements (18 Apr 2018)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming to the House. He will remember the words spoken at the SDLP dinner on the Friday night a fortnight ago, quoting the words of John Hume asking people to live for their country and not die for their country.

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Apr 2018)

Mark Daly: This issue is the acknowledgement of their great achievement of winning the Pulitzer Prize. The Iowa state Senate refused to acknowledge them winning the prize because they had been critical of President Trump. The most important thing in any democracy is a free press. A free press should criticise politicians when they need to be criticised and should point out where wrong is done. When...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (29 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: I was also on the delegation to Westminster with my esteemed colleague from Kerry, Senator Coghlan. It was informative in many ways because we were given a copy of a report by the House of Commons committee on the issue of the Irish Border and its assertion there is no viable technical solution that will allow the Border to remain frictionless and seamless and that no such system exists...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (29 Mar 2018)

Mark Daly: This is with regard to the sharing of information between the organ donor transplant organisation, the HSE and medical professionals and the driver licence authority, which holds information on whether people have indicated on their driver licence that they would like to be an organ donor. If the number 115 is on the card it indicates the holder would like to be an organ donor. This...

Mark Daly: -----between that decision being made and not being made, and I cannot understand why the Minister, Deputy Ross, is allowing the information to be shared between the driver licence authority and private companies to collect fines but is not allowing it to be shared with those who can save and transform lives.

Mark Daly: In that case, I will share time with Senator Robbie Gallagher. Many of us understood that the review to which the Minister referred related to the holistic issue of terms and conditions for councillors. One of the proposals was to consider the type of system that operates in the Oireachtas. In his contribution, however, the Minister of State indicated the Revenue Commissioners had...
