Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (12 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: However, the Commissioner cannot give us any details other than to say she is not privy to any of them.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (12 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: Obviously, some incredibly serious issues were raised here this morning and clarity is critical. The Commissioner said on a number of occasions that she was not privy to, nor aware of, nor approved any campaign to target whistleblowers. I would like her to be concise around some of these issues and preferably give a "Yes" or "No" answer. Is it her assertion that she was never directly made...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (12 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I note the Commissioner's reluctance not to answer again, so I will help by partly answering for her. I am aware she was directly made aware - I have the correspondence and her replies in my folder - of allegations of precisely such a campaign of targeting in regard to whistleblowers. I would like to know what actions she took on foot of hearing about those allegations.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (12 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I did not ask the Commissioner to comment on any individual cases. That would be inappropriate. I was talking about the general processes in the context of the seriousness of what is the case, and those are incredibly fair questions, particularly in light of her comments that the system is changing when, on a fairly regular basis, evidence is being produced to show things are not changing....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (12 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I would like to put on record that I have seen that the Commissioner has seen these allegations and in that sense, I find her response quite upsetting in many ways. She might answer my last question. If the Commissioner is not aware of any of these allegations but yet they exist both in terms of documented proof going back over years and, as she said herself, as the subject of huge...

Clare Daly: A final point-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (12 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: No, it is just to correct the record. I am not making any unsubstantiated claims. I am talking about documents which I know to exist and correspondence, which are matters of fact. I did not mention any specifics or allegations.

Other Questions: Pensions Reform (6 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: 9. To ask the Minister for Social Protection his views in relation to whether he is concerned, particularly with the quickening demise of occupational pension schemes, that inadequate governance can lead to employers unilaterally closing down pension schemes without consulting and negotiating with all those who are affected by these actions, not just trade unions but those who may appear not...

Other Questions: Pensions Reform (6 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I thank the Acting Chairman. This question relates to pensions governance, in particular the role of trustees, including corporate trustees. It concerns workers who make contributions in order to have decent retirement incomes but where decisions are made that affect their livelihoods in retirement and deplete their returns. These workers are basically disenfranchised from having any...

Other Questions: Pensions Reform (6 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I am not sure if the question was clear and I do not expect the Minister to be on top of every example of a pension scheme, but I will put a scenario to him and he might advise on how it can be addressed. The Aer Lingus supplementary pension scheme was attached to the defined benefit Irish Airlines Superannuation Scheme, IASS. The IASS closed and, as a result, the Aer Lingus scheme...
