Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: It is something of an indictment of the Government's handling of the situation in the Garda that, while everything is different, it remains the same. There has been a sea change over the course of the Government's lifetime in the population's attitude towards the Garda, a greater consciousness and understanding of its role and, probably, a greater demoralisation within the service itself...

Clare Daly: I am delighted that there are some gentlemen left.

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: The last time I was on a bus, I had to give up my seat for a pregnant woman, so it works many ways. There is a crisis all around. The points made by Deputy Halligan are quite valid. The Bill before the House is pretty technical. We are not dealing with anything revolutionary here. It is a means of facilitating bus rapid transit, with which I have an enormous problem. I am not really on...

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: That has been the hallmark of public transport systems to begin with.

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: That is because rail has been under-utilised. It is a fact that there has been a lack of investment in rail in this city and this country for decades.

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: That is continuing against the backdrop of this country's abysmal failure to meet its climate change obligations. I am cognisant that a city cannot be run on cars. The Minister lives on the north side, although he is not as far north as me. People who live on routes on the north side that are not on the DART line are overwhelmingly reliant on private vehicles such as cars because the bus...

Marriage Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: Earlier, I was asked whether I was opposed to everything, and I made the point that I am opposed to quite a lot of what the Government does. If I were not, I would be part of it. It is our job as Opposition Deputies. I was asked whether there was anything on which I would compliment the Government. It was a real struggle, and the only one I could come up with was the legislation we are...

Topical Issue Debate: Refugee Numbers (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: The reality is that those ending up on European shores after making a horrendous journey to reach here constitute just the tip of the iceberg. Millions of the refugees are confined to the borders of Lebanon and Turkey with more in the Middle East-Europe region. Half the world's refugees come from Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia. Last year we allowed six flights go from the United States to...

Topical Issue Debate: Refugee Numbers (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: This is a major issue which is convulsing Europe, and I am shocked that there are only two of us in here who have raised this today. It is the third time we have had this question as a Topical Issue. The dire situation that hundreds of thousands, and indeed millions, of people around the globe are being placed in is reprehensible. We know that when Mare Nostrum was cancelled, the Irish...

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: While I will accept that information, if the Minister is not able to tell me that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade approved all the permits that were granted, then we have a serious problem. For example, some of the information that was given pertained to a permit request on 27 April last year for a flight carrying four Mk44 gun sections. These are vehicle-mounted guns that fire...

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: 8.

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: This question concerns requests that the Minister's Department has handled on transiting soldiers and munitions on civilian aircraft through and over Shannon this year. Airport workers' evidence, given in open court during my and Deputy Wallace's case, made it clear that the conditions which the Minister's Department says are in place, ensuring munitions are held in an inaccessible position,...

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: We will obviously digest that information. It follows on from the multiple pages received by Shannonwatch concerning permits sought for 2014. Based on the evidence the Minister has given us today, if anything the number of those requests has increased. In the main they come from the US. Has the Minister any comments or concerns regarding the types of material that were transited last...
