Topical Issue Debate: Child Protection Issues (24 Oct 2013)

Clare Daly: The Tánaiste advised us this morning that we cannot jump to conclusions in respect of these horrendous cases and I agree. That said, the only conclusion that can be drawn from the evidence presented is that racial profiling occurred and these children were taken from their parents for one reason only - they were Roma and did not look like their parents. I sincerely believe that if they...

Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Oct 2013)

Clare Daly: There is no doubt that there can be no economic recovery without a return of people to work. That is a fact. What we have had from this Government is a lot of talk about jobs with precious little being delivered. One could say this budget, like many of the statements from the Government side, is conjury and trickery in terms of on the one hand giving something and on the other taking...

Other Questions: Fire Safety Regulations (23 Oct 2013)

Clare Daly: This is an incredibly serious issue which obviously entered the public domain through the fire safety concerns in Priory Hall but it is most definitely not confined to Priory Hall. I am not sure from the Minister's response if he is saying that all the other developments cited in the question are outside the time limit period and therefore the best that the local authorities can hope for is...

Local Government Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Oct 2013)

Clare Daly: It is a little frightening to listen to the disconnect between some of the contributions being made in this Chamber and the reality of what is in the Bill. Everybody knows we have one of the most centralised systems of governance in Europe, if not the world. We will not be much better off in that respect after this much-discussed Bill has been passed. It will not reverse the trend of...

Local Government Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Oct 2013)

Clare Daly: The problem is not that they do nothing - it is what they do and what they are allowed to do. It was ludicrous for the Deputy who spoke before me to argue that councillors should be paid a full-time wage, while at the same time making the case for a system that has stripped away the decision-making powers of councillors. In my experience, many councillors spend their time annoying council...

Older Citizens: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2013)

Clare Daly: There is no doubt that we have had a huge amount of discussion about this issue in recent days, and we are bound to have much more.

When the Government Members were in the Opposition,...
