He has provided us with a good opportunity to discuss crucial issues such as why we are elected, who we represent, to whom we are accountable and, in essence, what is democracy. I would be shy about holding up any role...

Vehicle Clamping Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (22 Jan 2015)

Clare Daly: It is an indictment of the situation that this is the first time we are discussing vehicle clamping regulations in this House.

This is an area which needs to be regulated and controlled and while I...

Junior Cycle Reform: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (21 Jan 2015)

Clare Daly: The Taoiseach made the point earlier that students and parents do not want a strike, with the implication that teachers in some way did want a strike, which is a ridiculous proposition.

My daughter, who is a junior certificate student, is happy that the teachers are going on strike, not because...

Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (21 Jan 2015)

Clare Daly: I strongly support this amendment. It is uncanny to see the amount of social legislation that is pushed in this State on foot of what happens in Britain.

They are true survivors on behalf of their brothers, sisters, mothers and those who did not make it this far. There is real hope for...
