Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2013)

Mark Daly: Yes, on the topic of job creation. In Kerry, funding for the south Kerry development partnership was reduced by nearly €2 million and 172 jobs that could be created will now not be created because the funding has been cut.

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2013)

Mark Daly: I welcome the announcement by Aer Lingus of its intention to restore the route between Dublin and San Francisco. Even though 40% of all international investment in Ireland comes from the bay area of that city, since 2009, when Aer Lingus shut down the route, we have had no direct link with it from this country. It seems that Facebook, Google and the other Internet companies with European...

Mark Daly: Article 2 of Bunreacht na hÉireann states: It is the entitlement and birthright of every person born in the island of Ireland, which includes its islands and seas, to be part of the Irish nation. That is also the entitlement of all persons otherwise qualified in accordance with law to be citizens of Ireland. Furthermore, the Irish nation cherishes its special affinity with people of...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)

Mark Daly: I also wish to welcome Senator Norris back to the House. While he does not agree with everyone all of the time, he does tend to agree with some of us some of the time. I second Senator MacSharry's amendment to the Order of Business. The new code of conduct to which he referred has been discussed in the House previously. It is a banker's charter to terrorise those whose mortgages are in...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)

Mark Daly: An interesting headline relating to this matter appeared in The Kerryman, which declared "Cuts are just death by geography" and this is exactly what happens when one lives in a rural area. If Mr. Morton, who lives in a nice suburban home-----

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)

Mark Daly: I thank the Cathaoirleach. If Mr. Morton, who lives in a nice suburban home in Dublin, was obliged to wait an hour and a half for an ambulance to arrive at his front door, I have no doubt that there would be an inquiry. If people in Dublin were obliged to wait two hours for the arrival of ambulances, it would be declared a national scandal and RTE would highlight the matter on its news...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)

Mark Daly: When something of this nature happens in rural areas, nothing is said. According to the director of the national ambulance service, that is the price those who live in such areas must pay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Foreign Affairs Council and Development Aid: Discussion with Minister of State (26 Jun 2013)

Mark Daly: I raised the issue of the overseas aid budget with the Minister of State when he was in the Seanad previously. The annual report indicates that €206 million is provided in multilateral aid, including €128 million for EU development co-operation. Of the latter amount, €109 million in taxpayers' money, or money we borrowed from the EU itself, is being given back to EU...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2013)

Mark Daly: With my colleague, Senator Paul Coghlan, I share the fear than an Oireachtas inquiry would not work but would turn into a circus and come to no conclusion as the legislation does not allow it to find on matters attributing blame. What we want is action and a criminal prosecution. It is lamentable that it has taken this length of time and that nobody is behind bars in respect of what...
