Clare Daly: I realise how difficult and complicated this issue is but I am not fully sure we are advancing it as we continue to discuss it. My query is not about cases where no records exist.

We are trying to grapple with a scenario where it has been acknowledged that...

Adoption Services (15 May 2012)

Clare Daly: I have two supplementary questions. One relates to the timescale of the legislation. Is the Minister saying that the problem is the Adoption Authority of Ireland has been legally restricted in pursuing the matter? My understanding is that it has failed to intervene and use the powers it has to gain access to the records and inspect them.

Ireland's Chairmanship-in-Office of the OSCE: Statements (10 May 2012)

Clare Daly: This is an important discussion and I welcome the opportunity to contribute. The OSCE is supposed to deal with Europe's borders as far as the Mediterranean and sets itself up as being a promoter of democratic values, protector of human rights and so on. However, we need to examine the organisation's history and its lack of teeth. A tokenistic organisation, it has not contributed in any way...
