Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: While I will not repeat the discussions we have had over the days during which we discussed the Report Stage amendments, I echo Deputy Wallace's point. The considered and detailed work the environment committee did in preparation for the Bill has largely been ignored in the end product. Although I might have criticised the conclusions the committee came to, I look back on those days and...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: I thank the Minister of State but the essence of my point was that a bad Bill was worse than no Bill. No one is arguing that we do nothing. We could build on the great deal of preparatory work that has been done elsewhere. The amendments are self-explanatory, being taken from the Scottish climate change Act. Enacted six years ago, it contains copious details on how the advisory group...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: We are all struggling today with the schedule going too far. We have discussed these issues at length over the course of the past week and there is grave concern on our side of the House that excluding targets and failing to put any meat on its bones makes the legislation probably worse than having nothing. I do not say that lightly. It is said very much in the context of the fact that...

Clare Daly: 8. To ask the Minister for Defence the reason Defence Forces personnel were in contact with a controversial Italian surveillance company (details supplied); the extent of the contact; and by whom it was authorised. [34262/15]

Other Questions: Cyber Security Policy (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: This relates to the leaked documents that emerged over the summer about contact between the Defence Forces and the controversial Italian company Hacking Team, a well-known surveillance software company used by governments to tap into phones, computers and so on. What possible contracts did the Irish Defence Forces want to achieve from their dealings with Hacking Team, who was involved in...

Other Questions: Cyber Security Policy (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: The fact that nothing was purchased misses the key point. Why would the Irish Defence Forces deal with a company that has a very dubious international reputation? This company was named in 2012 by Reporters Without Borders as one of the corporate enemies of the Internet. It has been accused by the Citizen Lab, a digital rights group, of human rights abuses, of using and transferring...

Other Questions: Cyber Security Policy (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: -----saying "we decided not to purchase in the end". The correspondence, which was leaked and which is not being disputed, referred to multiple contacts with this company and a number of meetings. Who was at those meetings? At what level were they? Even if the Minister cannot tell us specifically what the Defence Forces were looking to purchase, we are entitled to a little more detail...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Medicinal Products (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: There are two problems with the Minister's response. One is that it seems to be taking an incredibly long time for the Department to consider this matter, and there is no indication of any urgency at all. Nobody said that Lariam was the only drug, but the attitude of the Irish Defence Forces has primarily been of that view. Back in 1992, the World Health Organisation warned against the use...
