Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (7 Jul 2009)

Mark Daly: I spent the day in Dingle yesterday, and I ask the Leader for a debate on the fishing industry. There is too much regulation at national and EU level of inshore and deep sea fishing boats. The latest regulation is to put more safety equipment on board the boats, but the cost of this is prohibitive and so the fishermen will be put out of business. We will have the safest fishermen in the...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (7 Jul 2009)

Mark Daly: In the context of Senator Hanafin's call for a serious debate on savings and cuts, I had the honour of sharing the platform with the Labour spokesperson for finance, and I asked her to name one cut to the crowd of 200 people at the Trim Swift Festival.

Seanad: Information and Communications Technologies: Motion (17 Jun 2009)

Mark Daly: Senator O'Toole said that decisions have to be made and that we could make it all happen tomorrow morning. Of course, if we made it all happen tomorrow morning we would then be accused of riding roughshod over every law in the country. While I agree with him on the issue of foreshore licences, a particular problem in Kerry, decisions have been made. Senator Donohoe stated he spoke of...

Seanad: Elections of June 2009: Statements (11 Jun 2009)

Mark Daly: When the people spoke, they said they were not happy. That is basically it. What we have seen is a form of Americanisation of Irish politics, in some senses. Those who are not happy decided to vote against Fianna Fáil and the Government, rather than for the Opposition. They have formed the view that the Government is not doing a great job. In essence, mistakes have been made. Seán...

Seanad: Elections of June 2009: Statements (11 Jun 2009)

Mark Daly: Winston Churchill once said that democracy seems like a bad form of Government until one considers the alternatives. Senator Buttimer said that the people have spoken, but I remind him that the elections in which they spoke were local elections. Tip O'Neill's great quote, "all politics is local", is often used during local election campaigns. It is also used in general election campaigns....

Seanad: Report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements (27 May 2009)

Mark Daly: Senator Norris gave a passionate speech in which he raised a number of issues. The fact that there is a prohibition on posters speaking out against homophobic behaviour by school students in religious institutions is another example of how the abuse is continuing to some degree. One can but wonder who is leading those 18 religious orders because they are so out of touch. I spoke yesterday...
