- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2014)
Clare Daly: The Minister made the point that there are already sufficient powers on the Statute Book to deal with these issues. However, I put it to him that this point applies to all of the component parts of the amendment that he put forward on Committee Stage in that all of those powers were also there sporadically, dished out around the place, but the Minister chose to bring them into this Bill. To...

- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2014)
Clare Daly: That is fine. There are two proposers of each amendment. Deputy Wallace has spoken and I am speaking now. If I got the order the wrong way around, I am sorry. I do not have superior knowledge, but on two occasions this morning I sought clarification from the Ceann Comhairle on how this matter would be addressed and he was quite clear that we could make our mark for as long as we liked on...

- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2014)
Clare Daly: The first amendment in the group seeks to amend the Minister's proposal and substitute "stop a person at the airport for the exercise of any of his or her powers under this section".

People are concerned that stopping a person in this context gives one a total...

- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (9 Jul 2014)
Clare Daly: The point is we have not been able to obtain accurate information on this issue. That these hugely expensive aircraft that landed on our shores 630 times during the past 12 months were not engaged in military activity is, to be honest, laughable. The former Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Deputy Alan Shatter, challenged us to produce evidence that they were carrying arms. The...
