Mark Daly: I just afforded the Minister the same opportunity as he took the last time.
- Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Second Stage (9 Jul 2013)
Mark Daly: If the Minister does not wish to take that opportunity, he is more than entitled not to respond to the question of what the banks sought when it came to the changes in the Personal Insolvency Bill, which has a bearing on this Bill. We have seen what the banks did when it came to the Central Bank. Never mind that a bank manager might tell a poor mortgage holder that the bank wants to...
- Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Second Stage (9 Jul 2013)
Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House. While I realise that the Bill is amending previous legislation, I note that the Minister referred in his speech to good faith. We should reflect on the actions of the banks to date. We saw in the newspapers today reference to the banks being hauled over the coals by the Central Bank because they have not met the targets in terms of coming to...

- Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Second Stage (9 Jul 2013)

- Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jul 2013)

- Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jul 2013)
Mark Daly: There is no protection in it for the mortgage holders and those in distress. I call on the Leader to facilitate the request of my colleague, Senator Byrne, for an amendment to the Order of Business to discuss the issue. The game goes on and the people writing the legislation are not the legislators. The Minister would not outline what changes he has allowed to be made to the legislation...
- Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jul 2013)
Mark Daly: I wish to propose an amendment to the Order of Business to the effect that the Minister for Health should come before the House to discuss SI 325 - European Union (Quality and Safety of Human Organs Intended for Transplantation) Regulations 2012. I attended the Irish Kidney Association's annual general meeting earlier this year and I am aware that the association is dissatisfied at the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2013)
Mark Daly: I support Senator Crown. It shows the national democratic deficit and dysfunctional nature of the legislative process in this House that when a Member with such a reputation as Senator Crown brings forward legislation that will protect children from the harmful effects of smoking, over a year later it has not progressed an inch. If one wants Members to make a legislative contribution, there...

Mark Daly: -----to move nowhere-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2013)
Mark Daly: It would protect children from the harmful effects of smoking. Is the Senator willing to defend that lack of legislative progress?
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2013)
Mark Daly: If he is happy with that, he is more than welcome to stand up and defend the fact that legislation which would protect children from the harmful effects of smoking has not progressed an inch. Is the Senator saying Senator Crown does not have the credibility to say that the legislation should be adopted by the Government? It was adopted by the Government. The Minister for Health came to the...
