Other Questions: Coastal Erosion (2 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State is aware of this issue. Residents were grateful for his visit to the area in the past week or so. With every passing storm and change in the weather, homes are further threatened. Residents need to see remediation. What can the OPW do to ensure that the works are undertaken?

Other Questions: Coastal Erosion (2 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: I do not share the Minister of State's confidence. I have correspondence with me from one of his predecessors, Mr. Brian Hayes, MEP, who similarly visited the region and was told that moneys were available and had been expended on a study. Two or three years later and the weather conditions and erosion have worsened, but Fingal County Council is proposing another study even though the...

Other Questions: Coastal Erosion (2 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: The residents have been patient beyond belief with this situation. We are seeking vigilance and intervention by the OPW. It is mad that coastal protection measures that were assessed and recommended in a study two years ago, when we had a different liaison group and residents gave of their time to protect their homes, are not being implemented and the council now wants to undertake another...

Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: The fact that we have the Bill is welcome, as are many of its provisions, but in the limited time available I will concentrate on the number of significant omissions and gaps in the Bill, which is supposed to transpose the Victims Directive into Irish law but excludes some of its most crucial ingredients. Other Members have made points around the issue of special measures for victims, the...

Leaders' Questions (2 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: I will await a response from the Minister to that question. The Minister's utterances on reform and accountability are belied by the experience on the ground. We do not have proper oversight, and that is not only my view. Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring, the chairperson of GSOC, has demanded increased legislative powers supported by the justice committee precisely because we do not have...

Leaders' Questions (2 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: The Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality was no doubt highly impressed by the speed and efficiency with which Mr. Justice Charleton commenced the proceedings of the disclosure tribunal earlier this week. She probably hoped this would allow her to put the Garda controversies behind her but sadly that is not the case because the disclosures by Garda whistleblowers are only one...

Other Questions: School Enrolments (1 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: 26. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to deal with the immediate crisis in primary school places in the Swords area. [10114/17]

Other Questions: School Enrolments (1 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: My question concerns the Minister's plans to deal with the immediate crisis in primary school places in the Swords area. I do not use the term "crisis" lightly. The Minister will know that there are already 107 children on the waiting list for Holy Family national school in Swords. When they corresponded with the Minister they were told to apply to St. Cronan's national school. When they...

Other Questions: School Enrolments (1 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: I think it is fair to say that the information the Minister has is probably incorrect. His departmental officials wrote to parents and told them that currently there were places in St. Cronan's national school. When the parents applied, however, they were told they were outside the catchment area and that there were already 45 children on the waiting list in that area. The Minister...

Other Questions: School Enrolments (1 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: Can the Minister give a timeframe for that? If he is saying it is the end of March, then let us make it the end of March, but deliver on it because it is causing enormous disquiet. I know a young woman in my area whose daughter will be almost six if she does not get a place this year. That young woman was ready to go back to work. She has no child care placement for her child this year...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Prisons, Penal Policy and Sentencing (Resumed): Victims' Rights Alliance (1 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: It is incredibly fortunate that Ms McDonald is in attendance. We are all going to be well-informed for the debate to take place over the next two days. That is good because it is bringing in a new and fresher perspective on the legislation which will be important. Then we can get it right when it comes back on Committee Stage. We are in a little bit of an unusual situation in that the...
