Priority Questions: Export Controls (15 Jun 2016)

Clare Daly: I note the Minister's figures for this year. In 2014 there were 50 dual-use licences for exports to Saudi Arabia and in 2013 we issued nine military licences for export to the same place. If she is telling me there are no current ones, that is good. However, I would be very surprised to hear there are no current dual-use applications before the Department because in 2014 to the UAE there...

Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998: Motion (14 Jun 2016)

Clare Daly: It is a bit distressing to be here again for our annual ritual debate about whether to retain for another year the emergency powers in the Offences Against the State Act and section 8 of the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act. It is deeply ironic they are supposed to be emergencies but they have become a norm in this country. Every year the Minister tells us the threat is unchanged and is the...

Topical Issue Debate: Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (14 Jun 2016)

Clare Daly: The Minister says it is regrettable that the CRC made this decision. I call it bizarre, sinister and highly suspect. It just does not add up.

It does not add up. If one looks...

Topical Issue Debate: Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (14 Jun 2016)

Clare Daly: There is something incredibly rotten around this. It has the potential to put other CRC controversies into the shade. Overnight, unilaterally and without warning, a pension scheme was shut down that loyal staff members had paid into all their working lives. Subsequent to that decision, those staff members have been unable to meet the members of the board of the CRC who have no problem going...

Other Questions: Airport Development Projects (14 Jun 2016)

Clare Daly: I thank the Minister. I did not expect to get to this question and I will defer to his previous replies but the fact that practically all Deputies in the constituency have tabled a question on this issue today indicates the seriousness of the threat residents feel regarding this development. We will call the Minister to account and call on him to stand by them and by the comments he has...

Other Questions: Airport Development Projects (14 Jun 2016)

Clare Daly: We could have a debate about whether the overall national interest is served by the project. We have to factor in the cost of the impact in terms of climate change, which has not been factored in given the project was originally put together many years ago. One of the key impacts on the residents is the move which will undoubtedly take place from restricted flying hours, particularly at...
