Seanad: Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: Will the Leas-Chathaoirleach ask Senator Burke-----

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: Perhaps the Leader would ask, when the debate is held on the report that is being suppressed by the HSE, that the Minister would attend the House in order that we can have a full, open and transparent debate on the contents of the unedited report. I pay tribute to Henry Shefflin on his retirement. I am from a county which has not fallen to his masterful skills and can praise him fulsomely...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: We have won the Christy Ring cup and other competitions. It will come as news to the Government that I want to thank and praise it and I ask the Leader to give me some indulgence in this regard.

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, who is a former Senator, will come to Kerry tomorrow and we will give him a full welcome. He will visit the Valentia marine rescue coordination centre. The Members opposite-----

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: It was a matter that was raised here many times on the Order of Business. There were attempts by both Governments to close it. A previous Fianna Fáil Minister attempted to have it shut down and the local community and a national campaign, in which Mick O'Connell was involved-----

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: We managed to keep it open. I praise all involved.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Update on EU Foreign Affairs Council: Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (11 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for updating us on the case of Ibrahim Halawa. Will the case be raised at the Council meeting? I understand the Minister is in contact with the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Does he think it appropriate to follow the example of the Australian Prime Minister who, by becoming involved in a case, facilitated a successful outcome for one of his country's citizens?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Update on EU Foreign Affairs Council: Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (11 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: In respect of the European Union, if we do not have satisfaction, will we be considering trade sanctions in the light of what Amnesty International has stated about Ibrahim Halawa and the fact that he has no charges to answer? I am aware that we will be discussing the Irish overseas and the diaspora on another occasion, but perhaps the Minister might refer to the undocumented Irish and the...

Seanad: Ireland's Diaspora Policy: Statements (10 Mar 2015)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister of State. I am delighted that he is the first person to be appointed to office under any Government in a role with specific responsibility for the diaspora. I was delighted, too, to be appointed by my party as the first spokesperson on the diaspora in either House and to play a part in producing, in July 2013, the first policy paper on the Irish overseas by any party....

Seanad: Ireland's Diaspora Policy: Statements (10 Mar 2015)

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: The Taoiseach says he is worth €3,500 per week.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I am sure it sounds incredible to someone on the minimum wage of €8.65 per hour, or on social welfare or struggling to make ends meet in the middle classes. He was stealing a line from Jennifer Aniston who, when advertising a shampoo, said she was "worth it". No doubt she earns considerably more than the Taoiseach but a person on the minimum wage earns one tenth of what the Taoiseach...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I am glad to hear Senator Paul Coghlan is not defending the Taoiseach's €3,500 per week or saying that he is worth that. Is that right, Senator Coghlan?

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: The Senator said that and the record will show it. The Taoiseach says he is worth €3,500 per week but he was put into office because he promised to end cronyism and fix the health system. He said he would end the disgrace of waiting lists and the accident and emergency crisis. He made all those promises but did not deliver on them yet he says he is worth it. I am not too sure...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I am sure the elderly and other vulnerable people would not agree he is worth it either. I ask the Leader whether we should have a living wage as opposed to a minimum wage. I also wish to ask a question about Irish Water. It is clear that Irish Water is insolvent. Normally the economists of Ireland cannot agree on anything and if one were to put them end to end they would not come to a...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I did not associate Senator Norris with them.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I do not know why the Senator is disassociating himself from comments with which I did not associate him.
