- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2010)
Mark Daly: Yes.
- Seanad: Death of Member: Expressions of Sympathy (17 Nov 2010)
Mark Daly: I had to share an office with Kieran, or he had to put up with me, for a while. I am sure he gave his family some reports on that, on how a Kerry fellow had piles of paper on his desk and did not seem to be getting much achieved, but he did give me some great advice. We had a common interest in the GAA because we both served on GAA committees together. He used tell me, and I agreed, that...
- Seanad: Seanad Electoral (Panel Members) (Amendment) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Nov 2010)
Mark Daly: Like me, Senator Ormonde was at the LAMA conference in Listowel. I shared the top table with Senator Cummins. Like my colleagues on the other side of the House I agree with the sentiments, but the Government has a view that the Bill should be part of a widespread and comprehensive reform of local government which I am sure will involve the inclusion of LAMA as a nominating body.

- Seanad: Seanad Electoral (Panel Members) (Amendment) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Nov 2010)
Mark Daly: The people to whom I referred are members of the board and none of them is a public representative. That is my concern. None of them was elected to public office and they have been appointed to do a job which should be part of local government reform, which we were promised as part of the programme for Government and which may not happen for a number of months now that the Local Government...
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Nov 2010)
Mark Daly: Will the Deputy Leader invite the Minister to the House to discuss the tendering process which seems to militate against small businesses and manufacturers? I refer also to education. Senator Donohoe stated a change of Government would not bring a change of policy. I listened to an interview with Deputy Quinn of the Labour Party yesterday. He was asked five times to state his party's...

Mark Daly: Apparently the Labour Party will but it will only-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Nov 2010)
Mark Daly: What beggars belief is that the Labour Party is asking people to trust it. We will have a debate on the Labour Party's education policy if the Leader allows it because the party does not seem to have one other than saying: "Trust us; give us enough seats and we will see what happens." There needs to be a debate on third level education.
