Seanad: Child Abuse: Motion (29 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: I am praising Cardinal O'Malley.

Seanad: Child Abuse: Motion (29 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: Other Members have praised people. I do not believe Cardinal O'Malley, whom I met in Boston on this issue, would be too upset about the fact that I am praising him for his very courageous step. It is not that he was praised by anybody else. Given that he did not receive much encouragement from others, I will take the extraordinary step of praising him. Not many members of his organisation...

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: I commend Senator Quinn on his work and achievement in respect of the construction contracts Bill. It is rare for an Independent Senator to have legislation accepted by Cabinet. The legislation concerned is important to sub-contractors and the private sector. Like everyone else, I welcome the proposed referendum. One of the main concerns in respect of the treaty is the role of the European...

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: For the benefit of the Senator, I will read the full article.

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: It states, "Wolfgang Schäuble, the German finance minister, even suggested postponing the election and setting up a small technocratic cabinet like Italy's to run Greece". I will forward a copy to the Senator.

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: I apologise.

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: I had only two interruptions. Outside of that, I look forward to the Government's point on when we reach our fiscal targets according to the new-----

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: What budget will we have when we are obliged to reach those targets?

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: Last week I raised the issue of the democratic deficit and today I understand there will be an announcement in the other House opposing the need for a referendum. During Private Members' business last week we had an interesting debate on windmills. I second Senator Leyden's amendment on the issue. Clearly the Minister's reply was written by the public servants who implied they would...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: If the Government can say it to the media, can it not say it again in the House?

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: Yesterday I spoke in the House about the democratic deficit and today we have an incredible situation where the German Minister for European affairs, Michael Link, is lying. That is extraordinary.

Mark Daly: It is up to the Government side to bring him to the House.

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: Someone is lying. When asked if the fiscal compact agreed in Brussels last month had been designed in such a way that it would not need a referendum in this country, Mr. Link replied, "Exactly".

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: I am sorry, perhaps he was misled and he did not quite understand what was going on, because someone does not understand what is going on. Perhaps the Government does not know what is going on

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: According to the German Minister for European affairs the Attorney General was consulted on the fiscal compact. He said she knew all about it and was consulted every step of the way to ensure that we avoided a referendum. The Government tried hard to avoid a referendum and it might well succeed, which is a failing of democracy because if it was afraid of facing the people that does not say...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: It is a question, not a statement.

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: It is a question. Was someone lying to us?

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Feb 2012)

Mark Daly: I will not withdraw it because of the fact that somebody is telling us lies.
