Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Business of Joint Committee (29 Apr 2015)

Mark Daly: I thank the Chairman for getting a response from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade regarding the motion on the Armenian genocide. It is unfortunate that the same four lines were put at the very end of it, as were in the reply given to the parliamentary question tabled by Sinn Féin last Tuesday. I fail to understand how Ireland cannot take a position until there is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Irish Prisoners Abroad: Ibrahim Halawa (29 Apr 2015)

Mark Daly: I thank the Chairman for putting this on the agenda. It is important we keep pressing the Egyptian authorities. I am glad the Minister, Deputy Flanagan, met with his counterpart and pushed the case. We are disappointed that the bail hearing was not successful and was am wondering if there is an opportunity for another bail application to be made in light of the fact that he is facing more...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Irish Prisoners Abroad: Ibrahim Halawa (29 Apr 2015)

Mark Daly: I thank the Chairman for bringing this matter before the committee. If we get any updates in this regard, I wonder whether it might be possible to have them noted at our meetings. I know we meet quite regularly. We do not need to discuss them at every meeting. If we were to note any developments, it would send a message to the Egyptian authorities that this issue is being monitored by the...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Apr 2015)

Mark Daly: Today's spring statement is definitely politically strong but economically weak. As we saw in the last budget, which was much trumpeted by the other side of the House, what we see is a continuation of the Government's policy whereby those on €70,000 were four times better off as a result of the last budget than those on the minimum wage. Is this what we can be promised in the next...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Apr 2015)

Mark Daly: Could the Leader arrange a debate on that? I second the amendment to the Order of Business relating to the Moore Street Area Renewal and Development Bill 2015, which is a very good one produced by Fianna Fáil councillors in Dublin City Council in conjunction with Senator Darragh O'Brien, who has led the charge on this issue. I know the Senator's relatives were involved in the 1916...
