Establishment of Independent Anti-Corruption Agency: Motion [Private Members] (8 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: I am all out of ideas.

Establishment of Independent Anti-Corruption Agency: Motion [Private Members] (8 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion. I have been a practicing politician since 2004, approximately 11 years, seven of which I spent in local government and the remainder here in Dáil Éireann. One of the starkest differences I noticed when I moved from local to national Government is how the agenda is set. It often disappoints me. Local government genuinely reflects...

Establishment of Independent Anti-Corruption Agency: Motion [Private Members] (8 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: That is fine. The Deputy must have been living under a cloud, given that it was the most hyped, sensationalised and advertised programme. I wish we politicians would set the agenda ourselves. Politics should be about leadership, and if we are to be real representatives of the people and show the courage and conviction required of this leadership, we should set our own agenda, not react to...

Establishment of Independent Anti-Corruption Agency: Motion [Private Members] (8 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: I did not see the programme, and context is required. I have heard most of the references during the debate to the "RTE Investigates" programme. RTE trawled through details on every single politician, councillor, Deputy and Senator, and came up with a couple of bad apples. Given that everybody is presumed innocent, I will not take anybody's character in this forum. I am very proud to be...

Topical Issue Debate: Flood Relief Schemes (8 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: I refer specifically to the new departure of compensating businesses, and I welcome the decision the Cabinet took in that regard today. While we can discuss the delivery of schemes and so forth, it should also be placed on record that even if the flood relief scheme for Bandon had commenced six months ago, the town would still have been flooded last Saturday night. It will take another two...

Topical Issue Debate: Flood Relief Schemes (8 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to speak on this matter. Bandon town was devastated last Saturday night by a serious flood for the eighth time in the past 40 years. While much of the conversation in its aftermath has been on the flood relief scheme and the need to prioritise it, my priority right now is to support the businesses that have been affected, particularly those...

Order of Business (8 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: The Taoiseach is well aware at this stage of my concerns about the lack of any grievance procedure for parents of school-going children. It is an ongoing issue and an ongoing failure on the part of the State to address this issue adequately. Among a number of key indications we want to see brought forward is the school admissions Bill. When will it be brought in? It would enable us to...

Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 37 - Department of Social Protection (Supplementary) (1 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: I thank the Minister for coming to this meeting. I would like to be fair to the Department of Social Protection by giving it credit as one of the Departments to have achieved the greatest transformation over the period of this Government. Unfortunately, the Minister does not need me to tell her that neither her nor her Department gets sufficient credit in the national media. I think the...

Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 37 - Department of Social Protection (Supplementary) (1 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: The point I try to make all the time is that it is identical to the community employment scheme, which is greatly lauded by the same people on the Opposition benches who knock the Gateway scheme. The only difference is that the Gateway scheme is managed by the councils and the community employment scheme is managed by private companies. There is a cohort of people who were victims of the...
