Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: The Tánaiste and I can both agree that the situation in Venezuela is very difficult. The economy is in crisis and the people are divided. While the Taoiseach believes the Donald Trump narrative that it is due to a failure of socialism, personally I am more inclined to believe the UN special rapporteur Alfred de Zayas who made an extended visit to Venezuela late last year and is, in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: Mr. de Zayas blames illegal US sanctions which he says have caused many deaths and aggravated, directly and indirectly, the shortage of medicines, including insulin, which are crimes against humanity which should be referred to the International Criminal Court.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2019)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hare Coursing (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: I am glad the Minister has confirmed that she is progressing with the idea of a pilot scheme for either this year or next year. While recognising that the opinion of the ICC have been sought already, I would ask how the welfare groups, such as Irish Council Against Blood Sports, ICABS, have an input.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hare Coursing (21 Feb 2019)

Clare Daly: I thank the Minister. We have passed on specific allegations to the Minister and we will pass on more. I am sure the people watching will later on after this.
