Dara Calleary: ...Killala in our constituency in County Mayo, a school the Minister is familiar with, has expanded significantly in recent years under the patronage of Educate Together, and it now needs to acquire land.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Apr 2019)

Dara Calleary: ...party colleague, Mairead McGuinness, MEP, this morning in a radio interview. Nobody wants a hard Brexit. We all cannot reiterate that enough.

We must ask why we are going with the cheapest bid every time because going after the cheapest bid on this occasion has landed us with an overspend of €400 million.

Questions on Promised Legislation (17 May 2018)

Dara Calleary: This morning the NESC published a report calling on the Government to build homes on publicly owned lands.

The top ten Met Éireann stations for rainfall are all along the west coast and one of the highest was in Newport in my county of Mayo.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Public Sector Standards Bill 2015: Committee Stage (6 Apr 2017)

Dara Calleary: I am happy to support the amendment but I think this has been landed on us. The Bill was introduced in January 2016 when our minds may have been elsewhere.

It places a whole new sheaf of reporting...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Public Sector Standards Bill 2015: Committee Stage (6 Apr 2017)

Dara Calleary: Section 7(2)(b) deals with the source of any income related to dealing in or developing land. The phrase "developing land" is quite vague. If one is a Member of this House or a local authority and one has a farm from which one reclaims land, is that developing land?

Dara Calleary: ...cuts made to the farm assist scheme and the rural social scheme and to expand the GLAS scheme. While I welcome the €25 million sheep scheme, the ultimate litmus test of the scheme will be if it enables all types of sheep farmers - hill and lowland - to maximise the payment that they can draw down.
