- Seanad: Order of Business (17 Jul 2014)

- Seanad: Order of Business (17 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I thank the Cathaoirleach, the Ceann Comhairle, the Superintendent, Oireachtas staff and all those involved in facilitating the Irish Sign Language interpreters who are in the Visitors Gallery and the Press Gallery in the Dáil. They are here because of the issues discussed yesterday in the Dáil and the motion we have tabled, No. 63, motion No. 11 regarding the cut in funding for...
- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I support Senator MacSharry's call for the Taoiseach to come to the House for a debate on the funding cuts to those who represent the most vulnerable in our society. As Senator van Turnhout said, the Irish Deaf Society is among the organisations that had its funding cut. I also thank colleagues with regard to the initiative we took last year to recall the Seanad in August. They will be glad...
- Seanad: Order of Business (15 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: With leave from the House, I seek an amendment to the Order of Business to the effect that No. 19, the Immigration Reform for US Citizens Living in Ireland Bill, be introduced today. This is tied to the fact that the new US ambassador to Ireland will go before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations today and I hope the appointment will be ratified. This has been the longest period of...
- Seanad: Order of Business (15 Jul 2014)

- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (10 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I would like to thank the Minister of State for his reply and for the work of the Government in raising these issues on a continual basis. I can only agree that the talks on parades, flags and dealing with the past have collapsed. Much of that has to do with the fact that the British Government does not seem to be engaged on this issue now. It is not acceptable that David Cameron met the...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (10 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I thank the Minister of State for coming in to respond to this important topic. The purpose of this Adjournment matter is to query the response from the British Government in respect of the requests for release of the files on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. I am aware the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has said it will continue to talk about the issue, but that is not the same as...
- Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I call for a debate on immigration reform. Last week my colleague, Senator O'Donovan, spoke about the difficulties US citizens face in getting work permits in Ireland. I am delighted that on of foot of our discussion in the Seanad on the one-year J1 intern programme, the programme is now being extended until 2016. I thank the Leader for raising the issue with the Taoiseach. I am also...
- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I ask the Deputy Leader to organise a debate on appointments to State boards. At the same time, she might call for a moratorium on such appointments. Of the 1,300 appointments made by the Government, only 28% of the positions were filled after being publicly advertised, despite the Government's continued promises in the run-up to the general election that there would be openness and...
- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I am, with my colleague, Senator Darragh O'Brien, who earlier in the week called for a debate on the issue. We would have been the equivalent of Scotland.
- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: For the benefit of Senator John Crown who was not present for the debate and the discussion engaged in by Senator Darragh O'Brien-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: -----this issue became live when a former Taoiseach, Mr. John Bruton, brought it up. It would have meant that we would not have had our own army.
- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: Our Army personnel would not have served in Lebanon; rather they would have been in Kenya. Our Army personnel would not have served in Liberia; rather they would have been used in suppressing the freedom of India. Our Army personnel would not have served in the Congo; rather they would have been in Egypt to prevent the Egyptian people from gaining their freedom.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Relations Between Ireland and Great Britain: Ambassador of Ireland to Great Britain (2 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I thank the ambassador for his response. I asked about the specific cases because they were of concern. I am sure that if they were being raised in London, Mr. Mulhall, as our man in London, would be told so by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Relations Between Ireland and Great Britain: Ambassador of Ireland to Great Britain (2 Jul 2014)
