Other Questions: Bovine Disease Controls (30 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: Badgers, as we know, are a protected species, yet the Department annually culls 6,000 of them in a practice which the Irish Wildlife Trust has described as inhumane and barbaric. The trust has cited many instances of lactating females being culled while their cubs are left to starve underground. We have long been promised a vaccination programme as an alternative. What is going on? When...

Other Questions: Bovine Disease Controls (30 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: Rabies was eliminated from European foxes using baited vaccine many years ago. The idea that we have been discussing a vaccination programme for badgers for 25 years is quite shocking. The Minister's reply to the effect that it will take us a further two years before we see any progress in this direction is most concerning. This is against the backdrop of firm information to the effect...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Select Committee (30 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: I spent half the night preparing for the debate and have tabled a litany of amendments to the Bill. It is critical that it be advanced. I am shocked. I could not believe it when I heard this morning what had happened. It is an outrageous bureaucratic manoeuvre. That is all it is and the only thing we can call it. It strikes a blow at the autonomy and functioning of the select committee...

Topical Issue Debate: Symphysiotomy Payment Scheme (29 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: I have to say that there has been a certain rewriting of history again. We know that the majority of survivors never accepted this redress scheme to begin with. The Minister of State is dodging the key elephant in the room, which is that this report goes one step even further from that. It is riddled with factual inaccuracies, unverifiable anecdotes and is severely damaging. It is well...

Topical Issue Debate: Symphysiotomy Payment Scheme (29 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: The Harding Clark report into the symphysiotomy redress scheme has been described as deeply skewed, profoundly unfair, subjective and selective, intellectually dishonest, morally bankrupt, replete with false allegations, omissions, distortions, misrepresentations and contradictions, and biased throughout. Those who said that are being soft on Judge Harding Clark whose report cannot go...

Other Questions: Hare Coursing (29 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: Obviously, I am pleased that we are recruiting new officers. I am unsure at which two of the three events to which I adverted officers were in attendance, but I am pleased we will get the report. It is a change from the answer on the previous occasion. In that vein, I am appealing to the Minister of State in light of the revelations about the events that occurred in Rathdowney this week...
