Other Questions: Overseas Missions (18 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: There is a huge amount of information in the reply and it is hard to keep up with it. I believe that Irish people feel that we should have a neutral foreign policy and whatever about our Army being deployed on peacekeeping missions, the idea of participating in battle groups and the subsequent cost to the State of those ventures is something in which people are interested. Can the Minister...

Other Questions: Overseas Missions (18 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: There problem is that there is a creeping involvement of Irish Defence Forces operations in more NATO-led missions or under the guise of the EU rather than traditional UN peacekeeping measures and I wonder what the breakdown is in terms of costs. Is there a departure with the Syrian mission in terms of the amount of moneys being refunded to the State? Is it the position in this case that...

Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: There is a difference between listening to and hearing what people are saying. The Government has said much on this issue but its actions indicate that it is embarking on a path that is directly contrary to the wishes of the women involved. The Survivors of Symphysiotomy specifically stated it is not interested in any redress scheme that is based on the idea that symphysiotomy was a...

Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: Over two weeks ago, a woman called Mary Kerr, who was a symphysiotomy survivor, died. As she was unable to do so, her family were active in fighting for justice for her, a justice she will now never get. In response to a question yesterday from Deputy Adams on the Magdalen laundries, the Tánaiste made the point that time is not on the side of the Magdalen laundries survivors. Time is...

Other Questions: Renewable Energy Generation Issues (17 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: The Minister used to have four full-time staff working in this area, but now he is down to two. They also have other responsibilities, resulting in telephone calls and e-mails on the issue of ocean development not being answered. There is potential, but large multinationals have their eye on the resources off our shores. Meanwhile, small developers have spent hundreds of thousands of euro...

Private Members' Business - Garda Síochána (Amendment) Bill 2013 [Private Members]: Second Stage (16 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: I was just referring to the DPP's report. Not only was no disciplinary action taken against that garda, the State actually sent him to France to assist the French authorities with their investigation. The same garda was involved in other cases which resulted in people being incarcerated - incarcerations later found to be unlawful and which will undoubtedly cost the State a huge amount of...

Private Members' Business - Garda Síochána (Amendment) Bill 2013 [Private Members]: Second Stage (16 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: It was difficult for Deputy Wallace to introduce this substantial body of work in 15 minutes. On the surface, the Garda Síochána enjoys a high level of public support and confidence. If one scratches the surface, however, a different picture will appear quite quickly. Most citizens will rarely cross the path of a garda - perhaps only to get a passport application signed. If one...
