- Sentencing Policy (12 Jun 2012)
Dara Calleary: I wish to thank the Office of the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me and Deputy O'Donovan to raise this issue. While I have the utmost respect for the Minister of State, Deputy McGinley, it is disappointing that the Minister for Justice and Equality is not present. Deputy Shatter was able to leave the Seanad 30 minutes ago to make a good news announcement but he cannot be here to listen to...
- Sentencing Policy (12 Jun 2012)
Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. The robust response he spoke about has been undermined, particular in rural areas, by a number of cuts the Minister, Deputy Shatter, has made. There has been a severe cut in the community alert scheme and we do not have the resources to launch new community alert schemes or expand existing ones. Second, as a result of the substantial cuts to the...
- European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Second Stage (7 Jun 2012)
Dara Calleary: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Bill. I agree with much of Deputy Paschal Donohoe said. That the ideas under discussion were unthinkable one year ago is the reason we are in this crisis. Had the nettle been grasped long before now, we might not be at the precipice. In the past few hours Chancellor Merkel and Prime Minister Cameron held a joint conference....

- European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Second Stage (7 Jun 2012)
Dara Calleary: I was hoping to discuss this issue in a non-partisan way and we were doing so until the Minister of State came into the Chamber. If she wants to continue in that way, so be it, but that is my view three years down the road. This was the first country to enter a bailout programme, but we did not have the experience we are now having. The Labour Party parades itself and claims the last...

- European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Second Stage (7 Jun 2012)
Dara Calleary: We have not done what the Minister of State's party did, which was to run down the country at every opportunity it got. In the last Dáil the Labour Party took every opportunity, come hell or high water and in particular every Thursday, to claim the country was bust. It did not give a damn what damage was done to Ireland's reputation in order that it could move to the Government side of the...
- European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Second Stage (7 Jun 2012)
Dara Calleary: The ESM has been debated sufficiently and in a united fashion for several weeks. Will it be large enough? We will not know until it is established. We are much better off having the fund and access to it. Whether we will need access to it in 2014 is probably beyond our control, given events elsewhere. It can be in our control only if the ECB and the European Union stand up to the markets...
