Communications Regulation (Postal Services) (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (11 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: We sometimes ask ourselves what we are doing here. Today is a very good example of that. We debated the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill earlier, for which citizens had to wait over four years. Many people are desperately seeking pieces of legislation which have been promised, such as the adoption tracing Bill and other areas where there has been no progress. We are discussing this...

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Garda Misconduct Allegations (11 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: 115. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the reason a case mentioned in Dáil Éireann on 5 February 2015 in relation to allegations that two gardaí in County Galway were involved in embezzling funds for a property deal in Romania, which was first brought to the attention of An Garda Síochána in August 2011 but with no follow-up, has now been referred to...

Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (10 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: I strongly concur with Deputy Pringle's concluding remarks. While all Deputies will welcome the Bill up to a point, it is long overdue and pretty underwhelming in the context of the challenges that arise in this area. The Bill has been packaged as progress but it simply reinstates the position that obtained in 2007. That is not good enough on the part of the Labour Party, which claims the...

Draft Commission of Investigation (Certain matters concerning transactions entered into by IBRC) Order 2015: Motion (9 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: There is something incredibly shallow and underwhelming about this debate. I feel like groaning at the shocking, here-we-go-again nature of what is in front of us. It is yet another inquiry. It is yet another investigation into questionable practices at the highest levels. Yet more questions are being raised about the undue influence of a businessman over decisions that affect the public...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Amnesty International Report on Ireland's Abortion Laws: Discussion (9 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: I thank the representatives for coming before the committee. We are not in a position to ask very developed questions on the report but it certainly appears to be a very important and considered body of work which we will find useful and we will analyse it over the next while. The witnesses mentioned it is part of Amnesty's global campaign, My Body My Rights. Is Ireland the only European...

Other Questions: Naval Service Operations (9 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: This is a continuation of the discussion we had earlier about the activities in the Mediterranean. The Minister has clarified that theLE Eithneis not involved in Operation Triton and is there on humanitarian grounds, but he also went into combat with a straw man by saying doing nothing was not an option when nobody was arguing for doing nothing. Operation Triton replaced the Mare Nostrum...

Other Questions: Naval Service Operations (9 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: Does the Minister agree with the words of President Michael D. Higgins that the failure at EU level has turned the Mediterranean into a graveyard? Given that the Minister said he did not agree with the downscaling of the Mare Nostrum operation, are we to take it that, at EU level, the Irish Government is arguing for search and rescue operations to be restored to that level rather than what...

Other Questions: Defence Forces Medicinal Products (9 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: There is now an overwhelming body of evidence in this regard. I wonder is the Minister aware of the fact the British Ministry of Defence in April of this year released information under freedom of information which showed 1,000 ex-servicemen and women from the British army are suffering severe psychiatric and mental health problems or are suicidal as a result of being prescribed Lariam. An...
