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

Clare Daly: I do not know what is the nature of the assessment such that it will take three months to get it. Concerns have been raised about the ability or professional status of those who have reviewed this. Why does the Minister not consider the views of the troops involved and some of the people who have had direct experience and a negative reaction? Why can we not have open hearings similar to...

Clare Daly: 5. To ask the Minister for Defence if he has followed the recent discussions in the Australian Parliament and in the British Parliament in relation to the impact of lariam on the mental health of defence forces personnel; the action he proposes to take as a result; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34755/15]

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

Clare Daly: This question follows on the earlier question put by Deputy Crowe on Lariam. It is not a question of making a choice between malaria and a debilitating life, and death through suicide. It is about listening to the best medical information that is available. We are joined in the Visitors' Gallery by Mark O'Sullivan, who served 18 years in the Defence Forces and is facing medical discharge...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: Is the Minister happy with the arrangements between his Department and the Departments of Justice and Equality, Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Transport, Tourism and Sport with regard to the many foreign military aircraft that regularly land on Irish territory and indeed overfly with serious weaponry and troops? Could the Defence Forces be more active in respect of our neutrality?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: As the Minister said, we have discussed this before and will certainly discuss it again. We particularly tabled it this time against the backdrop of information released under freedom of information requests to the Minister’s colleagues in the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, which revealed that last year 272 flights received permits to take weapons or explosives through...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (8 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: The Minister is a member of the Cabinet and has opinions and is touted as a future leader of Fine Gael but he cannot hide behind his Department in this matter. The fact that four Departments are involved has been used as a ploy by the Irish State not to give the correct information. It is a bizarre arrangement that military aircraft are allowed to transit on the myth that they are somehow...

To ask the Minister for Defence the partners of Defence Forces consortium bids for Horizon 2020; the criteria in deciding who to partner, and the types of projects to become involved with; to assure the Houses of the Oireachtas that there is no participation in any consortium involving Israeli companies or partners, given their appalling record on weapons testing and their use against...

Corporate Tax Policy: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (7 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: I compliment Deputies Maureen O'Sullivan, Joan Collins and Richard Boyd Barrett on tabling this issue for discussion. It gets to the heart of what type of Ireland we want to live in. That is entirely appropriate as we are on the eve of a general election. As Deputy Ross has said, it is not a revolutionary programme. It is a modest proposal against the backdrop of a Government which on...

European Council Meeting: Statements (7 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: The picture conjured up by Deputy Ross of the Irish delegation going cap in hand and doffing the cap to the European establishment is one that we can all visualise. It is a tragedy and a particular disgrace against the backdrop of what is going on in Europe at the moment, with a refugee crisis to which the European response has been too little, too late. That response has ignored the...
