Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2015)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Role and Interaction of GAA with the Diaspora: GAA (25 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I must agree with my colleague from Cork, nothing is won in February. It is when the business is done that Kerry comes to the fore. I welcome Liam O'Neill and Páraic Duffy to this meeting. As a chairman of the Kenmare Shamrocks hurling and Gaelic club for five years, from the age of 27, I learned more in that committee room than I have learned in this committee room, with all respect...

Seanad: Health Services: Motion (25 Feb 2015)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House. Depending on who is doing the number-crunching, approximately 1 million people go through accident and emergency departments every year.

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (28 Jan 2015)

Mark Daly: I welcome the family to the Visitors Gallery. Another famous Mayo person, John Healy, wrote in 1968 the most famous tome about rural Ireland, No One Shouted Stop: Death of an Irish town. He lamented the decline of rural Ireland. While it laid out the issues of rural Ireland very well, it took people like John Carty to fight the decline of rural Ireland. As my colleague pointed out, there...

Seanad: Broadband, Post Office Network and Energy White Paper: Statements (27 Jan 2015)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister. I love this map, but the problem with it is that it lacks ambition. When one looks at the areas it is proposed to cover one notes that if one lives west of the Shannon or west of Cork city, one will not receive high speed broadband any time soon. In today's terms broadband is equivalent to what electricity was 50 years ago, in that nobody but the State could...

Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Dec 2014)

Mark Daly: I just wanted to clarify that. On the clarity being sought on the issue, is this really a mechanism to give people money and to allow the Government to get around European regulations? Is that the purpose behind this? The dread of any legislator is where legislation states that the Minister may make regulations for the purpose of this section to provide for the following: the amount of the...

Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Dec 2014)

Mark Daly: We are asking that within six months the Minister will prepare a report, and this goes back to my earlier point to which I did not receive a reply. I was not allowed ask the Minister the follow-up question. I asked twice whether any regulatory impact assessment was done. This is a report we would like to see laid before the Houses. The central topic is whether anybody in the Department of...
