Report of the Pyrite Panel: Statements (Resumed) (18 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: I was going to start by welcoming the report which is a substantial body of work and which pinpoints the difficulties and identifies important measures for the future, but having listened to the interpretation put on it by the Minister, I can come to no other conclusion but to say that the panel was established to minimise the State's responsibility in this regard. The Minister's comments...

Clare Daly: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills in view of the continued high demand for school places at second level in north County Dublin, and in particular in the Balbriggan, Donabate and Swords area, if there has been any change in the capacity in the relevant post primary schools (details supplied), from the previous school year 2011-2012 to the current 2012-2013 academic year, and in...

Other Questions: Human Rights Issues (17 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: The Minister's answer is disappointing. It is heavily loaded in favour of the money with very little adherence to the concerns raised about human rights and the systematic discrimination experienced by women in particular and the Shia minority, and the stifling of peaceful protest by the regime. Clearly the Saudi regime benefits enormously from its export and import relationship with...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Northern Ireland Issues (17 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: This is not an appropriate answer. That is not meant personally against the Minister but we are dealing with a situation where the treatment of Marian Price has been deemed to be tantamount to torture by the UN and the fact that this treatment is being meted to a woman on the island of Ireland means we need to do more. She is an incredibly ill individual and the Minister has outlined her...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Northern Ireland Issues (17 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: It is entirely appropriate to raise the medical issues because UN doctors and others have said this women is even too ill to attend the court hearing, yet Owen Paterson revoked her licence under a clause that provides this facility where it is necessary for the protection of the public. This is an extremely ill woman who represents no danger to the public whatsoever and the longer she is...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Northern Ireland Issues (17 Oct 2012)

Topical Issue Debate: Priory Hall Development (16 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: The response from the Minister of State was disappointing. I am not being in any way disrespectful towards the judge involved in the process but that is not really the issue. Certainly, residents are not happy that the Government would hide behind this process and delay meeting them. There is no excuse and there is no contradiction preventing the Minister from meeting the residents because...

Topical Issue Debate: Priory Hall Development (16 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: Like the other Deputies, I believe Priory Hall has become a symbol of what is best and worst in Irish society. We have a community of young families and parents banding together in solidarity to try to secure basic human rights in Ireland in 2012, but we also have a society which is effectively ignoring them, from the Government to the local authority to the banks and other agencies. Like...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (16 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: I know nothing about football. I hate it. Even I know, however, that Giovanni Trapattoni's chances are considerably better than those of the Taoiseach and the leadership of the EU if they continue on their current path.

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (16 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: I favour Giovanni Trapattoni's chances more than those of the failed strategy of the EU leadership, including the Government. We are listening to the same stuff as before. We are told we have turned a corner and the worst is over. We hear talk of bank deals and all the other points made by Deputes. This smacks of unreality. What is being dished up for the citizens of Europe is a...

Written Answers — Department of Social Protection: Defined Pension Benefit Schemes Issues (16 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: To ask the Minister for Social Protection if she will overhaul the minimum funding standard for defined benefit pension schemes which is unfair and inequitable in its present form and operates as a deterrent to the well being of these schemes and their members. [42248/12]
