Seanad: Report of Advisory Group on Small Business: Statements (Resumed) (19 Jan 2012)

Mark Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. Our topic of discussion is the No. 1 issue in the country and I will speak on the solution to the problem. Several people from Valentia and I published the Valentia Island Red Tape Report, which examined how bureaucracy was preventing job creation on the island. Expanding on this microcosm highlights the number of private sector jobs that the...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jan 2012)

Mark Daly: I ask the Leader to organise a debate on the forthcoming European Union treaty and the proposals that will be made in the coming days to Ireland and other member states. It beggars belief that the interdepartmental group has not met and that Ireland has not formulated a position on the issue. It appears all we will be doing when we enter the negotiations is accepting what is put in front of...

Mark Daly: -----and responsibility for the running of the fiscal affairs of the country to the European Union, it is important that the people have their say.

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2011)

Mark Daly: Like everyone else, I join in sending best wishes for the coming holidays, Christmas and the new year. I thank the Cathaoirleach, the Leader, Senator Maurice Cummins and my colleague from Kerry, Senator Paul Coghlan, for their courtesy. No doubt Senator Coghlan and I will have more debates on NAMA in the new year. I also thank my party leader in the Seanad, Senator Darragh O'Brien, and our...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Dec 2011)

Mark Daly: I move an amendment to the Order of Business, that No. 14 be taken as the first item of business. I ask the Leader to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to come into the House and have a debate on visas for the Irish in America. The Bill passed by the US Congress, by 389 to 15, allows for high-skilled individuals from China and India but not Ireland to be granted visas for the...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2011)

Mark Daly: I will move such an amendment tomorrow because I want to second Senator Cullinane's amendment to the Order of Business. Is it possible that I might do both now?

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2011)

Mark Daly: In that event, I propose an amendment to the Order of Business to the effect that No. 11 on the Order Paper be introduced today. I also wish to second Senator Cullinane's amendment. The legislation to which I refer relates to a matter we discussed in the House on 29 January last in respect of the lack of transparency in NAMA. In June, the Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, voiced his concern...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2011)

Mark Daly: I ask that the Bill listed on the Order Paper be introduced and discussed as soon as possible. I commend the work of the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform in its attempts to get 10,000 visas for Irish people. This does not relate to the undocumented Irish. I met Bruce Morrison and Ciaran Staunton in Washington three weeks ago and we went to Capitol Hill to lobby Congress and Senators to...
