Post Office Network: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: We have heard a lot of talk about how the fight has gone out of Irish people and how we have lost the will to protest. The crowds that have mobilised around this issue, from every part of the country, say that this is not the case. One of the Fine Gael Deputies said that the Irish Postmasters' Union should be congratulated on having made us realise this is something we might lose. The...

Post Office Network: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: In my constituency, which has semi-rural parts to it, towns like Rush have been decimated. These communities have lost a bank and a Garda station and have had their library hours cut in a cynical manoeuvre. Now, their post office is being threatened by Tesco. The idea that the Labour Party would stand over a massive multinational benefiting from this hollowing out of villages is...

Other Questions: Capital Programme Expenditure (26 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: Reference was made to the Minister's efforts at job creation and the stimulus package. In particular, some points were made by Deputy Humphreys about housing. Does the Minister believe it is appropriate that Fingal County Council is currently offering staff an under-the-counter payment of €5,000 per employee to transfer out of the housing department? If we were to factor up that...

Allegations in relation to An Garda Síochána: Statements (26 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: We know that in 2012, ten gardaí were appointed to investigate the tragic case of Fr. Niall Molloy on foot of new information from Gemma O'Doherty. Guess what they found? Nothing. They found no evidence and no prosecutions were brought. I might add that no one spoke to Gemma O'Doherty either. Those involved in internal investigations are obviously fond of not interviewing the person...

Allegations in relation to An Garda Síochána: Statements (26 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: Today we have a case of here we go again, with Dáil business suspended while the Minister for Justice and Equality comes in to explain himself. I really wonder how long it will take for the penny to drop and for backbenchers in Fine Gael and the Labour Party to join the dots and realise we have a serious problem in this country. That problem is twofold. First, we are not dealing with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Ambulance Response Times: Discussion (25 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: In the opening remarks Mr. Bell stated that his members were concerned with the effect on morale of adverse public comment. The problem does not really relate to adverse public comment, rather it arises on foot of the large number of fatalities which have occurred and which have perhaps resulted in people not only dealing with the tragedy but also inquiring as to what might have been the...

Other Questions: Special Educational Needs Services Provision (25 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: Is the Minister saying there is a possibility that parents of children with Down's syndrome can have their children's educational needs looked after under the new policy, even though the deadline for applications under the old model is the end of March? The new system will not be ready by then. Will they be able to avail of the new system?

[8916/14]

Other Questions: Special Educational Needs Services Provision (25 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: I understand that in reply to a previous question from Deputy Finian McGrath, the Minister indicated that the needs of children with Down's syndrome would be met as part of the overall review. However, this will not do anything for children who are due to start school in September of this year and whose applications need to be completed by the end of March. What does the Minister intend to...

Other Questions: Special Educational Needs Services Provision (25 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: The problem with the Minister's answer is that the new allocation model will obviously affect all children with disabilities, which is entirely appropriate. However, the current system discriminates against the condition of Down's syndrome or does not bestow on it an adequate rating. Comparisons have been made with autism. For the very small number of children who are in the category to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Ambulance Response Times: Discussion (25 Feb 2014)

Clare Daly: I would like to apologise for being late but I was in the Dáil for Leader's Questions. A lot of our remarks will be saved for management who, in my opinion, bear the responsibility for the way in which the service is being operated, rather than the staff at the front line. I appreciate the role of the staff organisations in highlighting a lot of the difficulties which the changes have...
