Topical Issue Debate: College Closures (29 May 2014)

Clare Daly: A couple of issues arise. The college has developed and moved on from the theological base on which it was founded. Its current ethos is very much based on social justice and community. As already stated, it has a particular focus on mature students who want a second chance at education. On foot of its ethos, it has certainly inspired people to undertake voluntary and community work. It...

Topical Issue Debate: College Closures (29 May 2014)

Clare Daly: I appreciate that this issue does not relate to the Department of the Minister of State, Deputy Alex White, but I decided it was important to highlight it, even without a Minister from the Department of Education and Skills being present because of the urgency attached to it. As people know, the wind-down of All Hallows College started last week and the 30 day consultation period has...

Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2014: Second Stage (28 May 2014)

Clare Daly: There is something a little sick about a situation whereby we are in the House discussing a proposition to allow GP cards for children under six years against the backdrop of all of our offices being inundated with parents of children who happen to be slightly older than six years, perhaps teenagers, who are victims of the most appalling illnesses or disabilities. However, because of their...

Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (28 May 2014)

Clare Daly: The Minister's response is a bitter disappointment. It indicates to me that he and his colleagues have not listened to what the electorate had to say over the past number of days. The reality is that the State shareholding when combined with that of the staff equates to a 40% shareholding, which is the largest shareholding. In this instance both interests should be at one. However, it...

Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (28 May 2014)

Clare Daly: Since the issue of the upcoming strike was raised in the House yesterday, Aer Lingus has, at the eleventh hour, invited the unions in to talks. I am not sure whether those talks have commenced. There was no indication earlier of when they might take place, but it is late in the day and follows on from the company's utterances yesterday more or less threatening workers that, should the new...

Clare Daly: 14. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if his attention has been drawn to the increasing tensions in Maghaberry Prison arising from the fact that the agreement which was to be implemented in relation to controlled movement, strip searching and other contentious issues, which gave rise to a 15-month dirty protest two years ago, has not been implemented; if he...

Garda Síochána (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 May 2014)

Clare Daly: The point is that these matters run deep. The Minister is in possession of correspondence from a former garda involved in the Baiba Saulite case which was also provided for the Taoiseach. The former officer in question indicated that he was shocked when the former Garda Commissioner stated there were only two whistleblowers within the force. The individual to whom I refer had approached...

Garda Síochána (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 May 2014)

Clare Daly: In a certain sense it is an indictment of the Government that we are still here discussing this matter. When we raised these issues last year we were laughed out of court with a stream of backbenchers lining up to say how great everything was in the force and how we were somehow undermining if. The people who were in the Visitors Gallery are back again a year on. Nobody in the media wanted...

Leaders' Questions (27 May 2014)

Clare Daly: The big question on everybody's lips is, given that the Government no longer has a mandate, when does it propose to do the decent thing and resign? However, we all know the answer to that question. Rather than focus on that question, I propose to drag the Government back to the real world of families who are trying to raise their children and earn a living and who do not have the luxury of...
