- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I know, but Senator Paul Coghlan was challenging us to give information. I just wanted to be helpful to Sir Coghlan.
- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I am calling on the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport not to be a hypocrite because if what is happening now was wrong at the time, it is wrong today. It is blatant, shameful, disgusting cronyism of the highest order. It is jobs for the boys and girls but not many for the girls and should stop. I remind Senators opposite of what is stated in the programme for Government, to which...
- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport is too busy stuffing State boards. Ministers are not paying attention to their budgets. My colleague, Senator John Crown, has called for the Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly, to stay in his current position. I would like him to come into the House before he goes anywhere else to explain the shambles in the Department of Health. We have...

- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I seek a debate on openness and transparency. Last Thursday Senator Paul Coghlan promised openness and transparency on the part of the British Government in the case of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. He might inform the House how he is getting on. Last Friday in The Guardianthere was a special report on the Ballymurphy massacre in which ten unarmed civilians were shot in the space of 36...

- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: I challenge the Members opposite to name the mother of eight who was shot in Ballymurphy by the Parachute Regiment. When Senator Paul Coghlan is attending the British Embassy tea party this summer, instead of asking for more cake, he might ask for the truth.

- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2014)
Mark Daly: In November 2010 Fine Gael published a document, Reinventing Government, which states "We want to introduce a new system of public appointments in which positions are advertised". Deputy Leo Varadkar said back then that this is part of our new political plan and at the same time he called for a moratorium on appointments to State boards and public bodies. I call for a moratorium now and ask...
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2014)
Mark Daly: I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Darragh O'Brien. I pay tribute to Gerry Conlon who passed away this week. His speech on his release from prison is one of the iconic television moments of the 20th century. He summoned great dignity and passion following his release after 15 years spent wrongfully imprisoned and having seen his father die in prison. An...

Britain, a friendly nation, has refused-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2014)
Mark Daly: The facts are clear in all these cases.
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2014)
Mark Daly: The facts are that the British Government is refusing to release to the Irish State files relating to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in which Irish citizens were murdered in this city. I ask the Leader to arrange a debate on a letter sent to 64 national organisations in the community sector in which they were told to place their staff on protective notice. The organisations in question...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Foreign Affairs Council: Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (25 Jun 2014)
Mark Daly: I thank the Tánaiste for his contribution and for updating us on the growing list of conflicts around the world that Deputy Smith alluded to. I will focus on the issue of the 50,000 undocumented Irish in the US and the meetings the Tánaiste has had on this matter. Congressman Kevin McCarthy has been promoted and I hope he may be elevated further in the US House of Representatives...
