Seanad: Energy Bill 2016: Second Stage (28 Jan 2016)

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2016)

Mark Daly: The Minister for Health has dismissed a report which rates emergency care waiting times in Ireland as the worst in Europe. Ireland ranks alongside Macedonia, Croatia and Slovenia in the provision of emergency services. However, as Senator John Crown pointed out last week, when one is closing an entire surgery department to accommodate and cater for patients in the emergency department, one...

Seanad: Local Government Review: Statements (26 Jan 2016)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House to debate this issue.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jan 2016)

Mark Daly: Political reform? Absolutely. Rural Ireland has been abandoned by the Government. Some 20 general practitioner, GP, posts have remained vacant for more than three years. According to the Irish Medical Organisation, IMO, 20% of GP posts will be vacant within five years. The Government has no plan to fill those posts. The epitome of the Government's abandonment of rural Ireland can be...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jan 2016)

Mark Daly: I hope that he will discuss the Bill, which is only one page long, with the Government Whips over the next few days. A great deal of legislation is being passed by this House without debate. We now have an opportunity in the dying days of this Government to protect the national anthem, which I believe would be befitting of the memory of the men and women of 1916.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: COP21: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Jan 2016)

Mark Daly: I thank the witnesses for their presentation. The key issue is fossil fuel, a topic on which the leader of the Green Party, Eamon Ryan, and others have spoken, and the fact that 80% of the oil that we know exists in the world today must remain in the ground. What I have not seen from all the commitments that have been made is the commitment from the oil industry to allow that. Ultimately...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jan 2016)

Mark Daly: All too often the system fails people and it often fails the most vulnerable and those who cannot speak up for themselves. When the system fails the citizens, it is the responsibility of the State to acknowledge that it has failed, give assistance and right the wrong that has been perpetrated. In the case of Louise O'Keeffe, the State failed the citizen. It failed to protect her when she...
