Other Questions: Pensions Reform (6 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: One would expect that. Some of them are retired members of trade unions who are earning pensions of approximately €100,000 per year. The workers have not had a say in reselecting them since the scheme was established. The wind-up is being delayed because the trustees are seeking an indemnification against being sued. They are getting professional advice from the likes of the fund's...

Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: -----for the Commissioner to go?

Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: The problem with the Taoiseach's response is that he tells us that whistleblowers should not be treated poorly and that he respects and defends that. However, our interpretations of what constitutes respect and defence must be different because the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality has been presented with evidence over a period of two and half years which shows that has not...

Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: If the Taoiseach means what he says and if he really does respect and defend whistleblowers, then he would be answering very differently and he would actually be doing something rather than just talking about it.

Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: The Taoiseach might have gotten away with that response to Deputy McDonald - if one could call it a response - if this was an isolated incidence of mistreatment of whistleblowers. I note the Taoiseach's confidence in the Minister and the Garda Commissioner is a bit like when he had 100% confidence to the last two occupants of those offices before it went to zero overnight. Exactly two...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Estimates for Public Services 2016: Minister for Justice and Equality (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: We are talking about performance measures and whether money is being well spent. We cannot measure anything when the data are flawed. It is not good enough to say that the Central Statistics Office, CSO, says things are improving and that is grand. Against the backdrop of the criticisms, reports and the thousand recommendations by the Garda Síochána Inspectorate about...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: UN Summit on Refugees and Migrants: Discussion (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I found the introduction a little demoralising in some ways. It summed up for me the point made by Deputy O'Brien earlier to the effect that we get nice statements and lofty aspirations but the reality on the ground is rather different. We have heard a great deal from the Government about the thousands we are taking in, how the numbers are far beyond any commitments given and so on. The...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: UN Summit on Refugees and Migrants: Discussion (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I did not say it is.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: UN Summit on Refugees and Migrants: Discussion (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I wish to correct the record on one point. People can be doing things but getting nowhere and that is the point I am making. I am not saying that people are doing nothing but I am saying that the Irish presence in the camps is not visible enough, in Greece or in Lebanon. I do not say there is no one there but they are not advertising Ireland. I am not saying, either, that no work was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: UN Summit on Refugees and Migrants: Discussion (5 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: If one takes the Red Cross, well over 800 people made offers but now we have 160, which shows there is a roadblock. Many people made offers for unaccompanied minors. It is not just that there are not enough foster carers. There have been no advertisements to seek them. I have no hesitation in saying the relocation and facilities provided for the small number who got here under the...
