Committee Report on Garda Oversight and Accountability: Motion (2 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: The process was initiated in October and Mr. Justice O'Neill was supposed to have concluded it quickly. The Minister has probably had it for two months, although certainly for six weeks. It is only a paper review. It is not a large body of work. Clearly, there are questions for the Commissioner to answer and the political problem is one of how she can remain in place while the matter is...

Committee Report on Garda Oversight and Accountability: Motion (2 Feb 2017)

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Horse Racing Ireland (2 Feb 2017)

What I put to the Minister as the Minister who appointed them is that he has a requirement to secure independent oversight of an industry that is self-regulatory and, in fact, non-regulatory.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Appointments to State Boards (2 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: I do not think the Minister knows what I would or would not like to do. Horse racing has been called into serious disrepute due to the handling of the previous CEO's appointment.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Appointments to State Boards (2 Feb 2017)
