Other Questions: Aer Lingus Sale (11 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: There is no doubt that this is an absolute twilight zone because the Minister's protestations bear no link to the reality experienced by the public. My question concerns the proposed takeover of Aer Lingus by IAG. Thousands of workers in north Dublin, Cork and Shannon are very worried about this proposition. According to media reports, the Labour Party is upset and worried about this...

Other Questions: Aer Lingus Sale (11 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: I tabled a question to the Minister for Finance who, as the Minister, Deputy Howlin, correctly said, is the shareholder, but he would not even answer that question. He transferred it from the Department back to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. What we have in the answer to this question is the idea of sharing responsibility or off-loading it, depending on what way one looks at...

Other Questions: Aer Lingus Sale (11 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: Careful assurances of information that we are not party to, and opinions that we do not get to see, are becoming the mantra of this Government. It is just not good enough. If the Minister is not prepared to give us information on some of these things, maybe he could comment on the outstanding pension problem. There seems to be a belief that the IASS pension scheme issue has been resolved....

Order of Business (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: Wrong. Obviously, the Taoiseach did not read the PP v.HSE judgment.

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: Will the Taoiseach publish the Attorney General's decision so we can see it? Does he think it appropriate that highly paid parliamentarians are expected to come here to vote on such critical issues like nodding donkeys without full possession of the facts? At the very least, may we have the date of the opinion and confirmation that it relates to my Bill and not other generalities? Finally,...

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: The Taoiseach's retort, or lack thereof, is an absolute insult to the families enduring this issue. It is the people’s Constitution and laid down in law is the fact that only this House can bring in legislation and only the courts can interpret it. How dare the Taoiseach attempt to have the arrogance to interpret the Constitution when it is only something that our courts can do?

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: That is a fact. We have had bodies that are hardly the most radical, such as the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, Amnesty International, the National Women’s Council, the Irish Family Planning Association, as well as multiple legal people, telling the Government that this can be done under the Constitution. The Attorney General is one person. The Taoiseach is correct that...

Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2015)

Clare Daly: In about an hour's time the Taoiseach will frogmarch his backbenchers in here to vote down my Private Members' Bill, a Bill designed to support families who receive the devastating diagnosis that their pregnancy has a fatal abnormality incompatible with life. My Bill enables them, if they feel they cannot continue with that pregnancy, waiting for the baby to die, to terminate it here in...
