- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: This is not in relation to an individual. It is in relation to loans that are on the public record. Am I allowed to discuss those?
- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: I am asking the Leader about issues which I have raised previously in relation to lands that have been sold not only below market value but for less than that for which they were sold to NAMA. Properties for sale to developers or people in the know are not being made available to the public by way of list or advertisement in the newspapers and so on. We previously asked in the context of...
- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: What we need in NAMA is transparency for the good of NAMA, the taxpayer, NAMA employees and for the betterment of the structure of NAMA.
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Direct Provision System (12 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: That announcement has been made a few times. Is it official this time?
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Direct Provision System (12 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: I am disappointed with the reply and, in particular, the comment that the Minister has no plans to end this system at this time. When he was in opposition, he had plans and energy and what he was not going to do was not wroth mentioning, yet when he is in a position to make a change he is not willing or able to make it. I note a hint of sarcasm in the Minister of State's comment that the...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Direct Provision System (12 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister of State and thank him for taking this important Adjournment debate on direct provision for asylum seekers. As he will be aware, decisive action is required on the current structures of the direct provision system, which have been criticised at home and abroad. An independent appeals mechanism is needed, as is legislation to ensure a fairer system for those seeking...
- Seanad: Valuation (Amendment) Bill 2013: First Stage (12 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: We will amend the Order of Business.
- Seanad: Critical Utilities (Security of Supply) Bill 2013: Second Stage (11 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: I welcome this legislation and the debate around it. Senators' views diverge on the issue of whether critical workers should be allowed to use the ultimate sanction of striking when it comes to industrial action or whether there should be a minimum level of service. One of the critical issues concerns those at home, who have necessary and vital equipment for kidney dialysis and medical...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Report on Impact of Emigration on Youth: Discussion with National Youth Council of Ireland (11 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: I thank the delegates for the presentation. I am fascinated by the study because I was involved in developing the first policy paper by any political party on the Irish overseas. One of the recommendations was to have a Minister for the Diaspora. Many countries with a diaspora smaller than ours have dedicated ministries. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Éamon...
- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: It is not a criminal case but a civil case.
- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Dec 2013)
Mark Daly: I beg the Leas-Chathaoirleach's indulgence on this. The question the Christian Brothers and other orders must ask themselves is what Christ would do, what the Pope would do. When the Pope took the name of St. Francis he did so because he said, "Where there is darkness let us bring light, where there is despair let us bring hope." The Christian Brothers are bringing neither hope nor light...
