Seanad: Order of Business (8 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: It is unfortunate that the Senator is not concerned about the issue of fundraising within political parties and that the British ambassador appears to have been misled in regard to that issue and was unaware the breakfast was a fund-raiser event. I have attended many events with the British ambassador in regard to the decade of commemorations and ask the Leader to clarify the situation. Was...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Oct 2014)

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I seek leave to introduce No. 11 - the Immigration Reform for US Citizens Living in Ireland Bill. Many of those affected are unable to remain in Ireland because of our immigration system. While we have 50,000 undocumented Irish living in the United States, -----

Mark Daly: Is that a defence from the Government side for manipulating waiting lists?

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (7 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: Did the Senator vote for him?

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: Would he be able to explain how he had appointed so many people to jobs on his own State boards without advertising them? There were 14 appointments and no advertisements.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: The Taoiseach has lost the trust of the people. In 2011 he stated that he wanted a sense of trust to be brought back to Irish politics. As can clearly be seen, he has failed the people in this regard. The process relating to the Seanad by-election was nothing other than cronyism of monumental proportions. There has also been a shocking failure regarding Irish Water. The former Minister...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Broadband Service Provision (1 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for the reply. My concern is that customers will not see a change in the level of service or speeds provided by 3. Reports from many areas indicate that speeds have been reduced, and if such speeds remain, that will not be helpful. The concern here is that 3 has said it will not improve the level of service or speeds. I understand the Government proposes to...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Broadband Service Provision (1 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I am quite happy with that result.

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Broadband Service Provision (1 Oct 2014)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and thank him for taking the question on broadband provision nationwide and in Kerry. He is well aware of the difficulties in rural areas regarding broadband. I am sure he is aware of the fact that 30% of trade is now done over the Internet yet only 10% of Irish companies seem to have a presence and an ability to sell over the Internet. A large...
