- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: Senator Coghlan can read about these matters every week in the newspapers.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: In regard to the particular matter I have raised, I will supply the Senator with all the information he wants, including on Portman Square in London, which proves that the taxpayer is at a loss.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: His coalition colleague, Senator Higgins, has raised the issue and everybody knows the taxpayer is at a loss in the way NAMA is selling its properties because it is not doing it according to the legislation and in an open and transparent manner. I support my colleague in calling for a debate on mortgages. The new code of conduct is coming out tomorrow and it will be a charter to terrorise...
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: The 145,000 who are in arrears will not be protected by the previous code of conduct whereby they could be contacted only three times a month. Now they can be contacted three times an hour. I ask for a debate on this because I understand the code of conduct is illegal. I ask the Leader for a debate on the question whether this code of conduct has any basis in law.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: The NAMA transparency Bill.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: It is.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business that the National Asset Management Agency transparency Bill be taken today in the light of the fact that former employees of NAMA are threatening Members of the House. Mr. Paul Hennigan was employed by NAMA and went to work for an asset fund in London. Part of his job-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: As the person I mentioned was threatening Members of this House, he deserves a little recognition for the fact that he seems to want to silence Members of the House.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mark Daly: It is inappropriate for any member of the public to try to prevent a Member of this House from doing his or her job, whether in raising issues of concern or a loss to the taxpayer. I fail to understand how NAMA has not included a clause in its employment contracts that employees who leave to work in other areas are not able to work in areas in which they could utilise sensitive information...
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (23 May 2013)
Mark Daly: I ask that the Leader provide time for a debate on the undocumented Irish, which issue I have previously raised in the context of the current Bill going through the US Senate which will assist the 50,000 undocumented Irish citizens living in the United States. I ask that the Minister for Foreign Affairs be invited to the House to give us an update on what his Department is doing to ensure...
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mark Daly: Just for the record. The breathalyser test was negative and she was still arrested and was still brought in. The Senator should get her facts right. She was targeted and my concern is that Senator Keane will also be targeted.
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mark Daly: I ask that the Attorney General attend the Seanad, under Standing Order 56, so that we can get her views on the abuse of privilege and information on the part of the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter. The Garda Commissioner also has questions to answer in respect of the information supplied, who gave him that information and the chain of supply of information. The...
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mark Daly: The Minister, Deputy Shatter, is a very intelligent man-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mark Daly: This was no slip of the tongue, he did it with a purpose and we all know that.
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mark Daly: I support the amendment to the Order of Business. I also ask the Leader to organise a debate on the corporation tax issue. Yesterday in the United States there was a very disturbing committee hearing on Apple and its tax affairs, and last week, in the House of Commons, there was a debate on the tax affairs of Google, with reference to Ireland. The British Parliament wants to have a...
- Seanad: Seanad Bill 2013: Second Stage (15 May 2013)
Mark Daly: As spokesperson for the Irish overseas and the diaspora, I am delighted to see section 31 of the Bill which would extend the right to vote to Irish citizens in the North and those living overseas. Ireland is a peculiar country when one considers that 184 years ago, Daniel O'Connell struggled to get votes for Catholics, 95 years ago, women were given the vote for the first time and 45 years...

Mark Daly: North Korea is a dictatorship. That was my analogy.
- Seanad: Seanad Bill 2013: Second Stage (15 May 2013)
Mark Daly: We are in bad company.
- Seanad: Seanad Bill 2013: Second Stage (15 May 2013)
Mark Daly: We are talking about the opportunity to give our citizens overseas the right to vote. The Dáil will never give 800,000 passport holders living outside the State or citizens in the North the right to vote in a general election. We have an opportunity to reform this House. Senator Quinn pointed out that the Proclamation talks about giving equal rights and equal opportunities to all our...
