Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report Stage (15 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: Deputy Wallace is a hard act to follow, and in deference to the hour I will try to curtail my remarks somewhat, but it gives me no pleasure to say that not only do I believe the legislation before us will not make things better for the families and individuals who are in dire straits tonight in terms of the crisis in the private rental market, and those who have made homeless, I genuinely...

Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2016: Motion (14 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: I agree with the points made by my colleague. The idea of giving taxpayers' money to Bord na gCon, an organisation which oversees the barbarism of hare coursing, is absolutely abhorrent. We know from the scandal that engulfed Horse Racing Ireland earlier in the year that the organisation is incapable of handling public money. We must ask ourselves why we are doing this. Why is a salary of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Immigration and Refugee Crisis: Discussion (14 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: I wish to make a couple of brief points. First, I note the Minister of State’s comments on undocumented minors that we expect them to adhere to their original visa conditions but is there not a double standard given the approach we take to the Americans? We go cap in hand and expect the undocumented Irish in America to have their status legitimised but we do not adopt the same...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Immigration and Refugee Crisis: Discussion (14 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: I wish to refer to the Minister of State's last point because it really gets to the heart of the matter. If families were to do as proposed, they would be left waiting. We have initiated the process. A number of Deputies have done as described. Cases are in the pipeline for a long time. In my case, for example, I was offered two afternoons in December for an appointment. When I tried to...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Military Medals (13 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: My questions relate to an issue on which I have corresponded with the Minister of State, namely, the need for an appropriate recognition of the men who fought in Jadotville through the form of medals for bravery, a measure which was suggested by Commandant Quinlan. This is a sad part of our military history in that these people have never been properly recognised for the heroic courage they...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Military Medals (13 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: While the Minister of State may be satisfied I do not believe the remaining men, their colleagues nor their families are satisfied with the efforts. In some ways, one would have to ask why the Minister of State is going to all this effort to give these men what they do not want. The citation this year was a generic piece of paper to A Company, it had no identifying features such as the name...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Military Medals (13 Dec 2016)

Clare Daly: Where there is a will there is a way. There is a sad irony in the fact that the battalion that followed the 35th and went out to the Congo received 25 medals while the 35th, to this day, has received none. The men of course welcome the Minister of State's actions and are glad of some recognition but given the scale of the siege and this battalion's monumental bravery against the odds, this...
