Seanad: Commission of Investigation Report into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne: Motion (27 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: Thank you, a Leas-Chathaoirligh. The Missionaries of the Scared Heart imposed a restricted order which should control the priest in question's access to children. Victims needs to know there is help and they are not the only ones who have suffered abuse. Nothing we say here and no words of mine can comfort them in their suffering due to a crime so outrageous.

Seanad: Communications Regulation (Postal Services) Bill 2010 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages (26 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: Yes. I am just saying that I do not want to hog the time, as we are doing all of this in one go and stopping at 7.30 p.m. I was interested that the Minister mentioned the commitment in the programme for Government to protect the universal postal service. I have mentioned previously the statement in the programme for Government about the position of An Post as the State's postal service...

Seanad: Communications Regulation (Postal Services) Bill 2010 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages (Resumed) (26 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: I support my colleague on amendment No. 5. As the Senator mentioned, we are only supporting Fine Gael and Labour in their commitments in the programme for Government. As I indicated in my opening address, that document was produced only four months ago. I do not know what has happened in the meantime but the parties have rowed back on that commitment. I fear that we are teeing up An Post...

Mark Daly: -----official Government documents contain the phrase "In God we trust". In that republic, they have not gotten rid of God. Perhaps Labour Party Senators opposite will talk to the Deputy Leader and see if they are being led and whether they knew the proposal was coming before the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.

Mark Daly: The leader of the Labour Party group is making a political issue of it.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: What happened in Cloyne and what the church has done is an abomination beyond reckoning but that is no excuse for political pointscoring in this House. That is a disgrace and the leader of the Labour Party group should reflect with Senators opposite.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: Good man Paul.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: The leader of the Labour Party group raised the matter of the daily prayer. I assume revelations arising from the investigation into events in the Catholic diocese of Cloyne are being used as an opportunity to raise this matter.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: Will the Senator indicate whether it is Labour Party policy that the daily prayer be discontinued?
