Clare Daly: 86. To ask the Minister for Finance his plans to regulate or outlaw the practice of money lending. [47619/13]
- Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Residential Institutions Issues (7 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: 108. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills in relation to the fact that a number of concerns have been raised about the State funded groups which claim to represent institutional abuse victims, not actually reflecting the views of survivors, if he will facilitate and attend a national meeting with the survivors of abuse in relation to the statutory fund, the idea of a memorial and the...
- Cannabis Regulation: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: If I was not sure about supporting this legislation, any doubts I might have had have been quashed by listening to the last speaker. I very much welcome this discussion. I fully accept that it is inevitable that cannabis will be legalised in Ireland. That will not happen here tonight because the political establishment lags behind the attitudes of ordinary people on this issue, as on every...
- Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: I am still in shock at the contributions from certain Government backbenchers who claim this is a great budget and that the Minister grappled creatively with the issues in these difficult times. Supposedly we are all making sacrifices and are about to turn a corner. The reality is that the times have not been hard for all of us and the times will not be hard for those who again escaped the...
- European Council: Statements (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: Obviously the time is limited. I wish to refer to one issue. Clearly the issue which unsurprisingly dominated the EU summit was the revelations of the wholesale spying by the United States Government on its European counterparts, including many leaders of European Union countries. Naturally, such a scenario would provoke outrage and condemnation across the board or almost across the board...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: It is not just in the health area that the Government and Ministers are running into difficulties. Has the Taoiseach given the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport an option on a job share, where he can balance his ministerial responsibilities with a role as a mouthpiece for the management of semi-State companies in their battles against the workforce? It seems that not content with...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: The Taoiseach's response was brief and he was very keen to trivialise some of the issues. The problem for the Taoiseach is that it is not about going around the globe - ranging from the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, to Dublin Bus, Shannon and An Post is not about being long-winded - but about a system and approach being adopted by the Government to systematically undermine decent wages and...
- Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: Absolutely.
- Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: Is the Taliban using Shannon?
- Other Questions: Defence Forces Properties (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: The problem is that the Minister has said he is taking an approach of reminding these people of their responsibilities, but what we are talking about here are families who have lived in this area for decades. One individual has been living in the Curragh Camp for 34 years and has given 44 years service to the Army. He retired two years ago and got a letter four months after he retired...
- Other Questions: Defence Forces Properties (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: I contend that this was not the knowledge of all people and, in fact, the conduct of the Defence Forces would vindicate that. To take the case of one individual, he exited from the forces over 15 years ago, lived in his home for 40 years and, if one likes, he is only now being squeezed, even though he lives there with three generations of his family. The Department may not be a housing...
- Other Questions: Defence Forces Properties (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: 6. To ask the Minister for Defence the reason families and ex-servicemen are being asked to leave their homes in the Curragh; and the alternative accommodation that has been put in place for them. [46643/13]
- Other Questions: Defence Forces Properties (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: This is the same matter as was raised by Deputy Wallace, and I compliment the Minister on his consistency in his answer, because he demonstrated again a total lack of humanity and compassion in his retort earlier. What he calls "overholders" and "anachronisms" are families who have given loyal service to him and the State, and the Minister and the Department of Defence, as their employer,...
- Written Answers — Department of Defence: Defence Forces Family Clinics (6 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: 20. To ask the Minister for Defence if he has carried out a cost benefit analysis into the decision to cut medical services to the 484 families of serving soldiers who rely on same; and if he plans to offer the families affected some alternative service to alleviate the hardship that will ensue when this facility is taken from them. [46644/13]
- Other Questions: Penalty Points System (5 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: I said he was unable to do his job.
- Other Questions: Penalty Points System (5 Nov 2013)
Clare Daly: The Minister has made incredibly derogatory remarks about somebody who served his time as a garda. His comments amount to a complete dismissal of the difficulty that a serving garda is currently enduring in seeking to carry out his job. The Minister can hide behind various smart-alec remarks but the reality is that he has not committed to the measures he said he would introduce to address...
- Other Questions: Penalty Points System (5 Nov 2013)
