Building Regulations (8 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: I welcome the fact the Minister will be examining these issues, although I hope he will do more than examine them. I am glad he is inching towards that. The elephant in the room is the question of what he proposes to do to deal with the existing breaches of regulations in places such as Priory Hall. Tens of thousands of homeowners are affected by issues such as water ingress, drainage...

Public Sector Numbers: Statements (8 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: I am still reeling from Deputy Ryan's contribution when he attempted to dress up what is an attack on the public sector as being something in its favour. We have heard many contributions throughout this debate on the negative impact that job losses will have on the delivery of services. Contrary to what Deputy Ryan said, it is not reckless hysteria to say that, rather it is a matter of fact...

Electricity Transmission Network (7 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: It was a specific question to which the part the Minister addressed was where he stated he had no reason to believe that any information was withheld or that An Bord Pleanála was misled. That is a factually inaccurate statement because the Minister has evidence to the contrary. There was the meeting the Minister held with Rush Community Council where it was reported, and EirGrid itself has...

Electricity Transmission Network (7 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: I repeat the Minister is incorrect. EirGrid stated publicly to the planning authority that the magnetic field would only be static. The company now admits that it has a time-varying component. EirGrid has not denied that. The company stated that such is the case but that the impact of it is insignificant. The Minister is inaccurate. I ask him to go back and look at his notes. There are...

Electricity Transmission Network (7 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: Professor Staines has.

European Council: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: It is an incredible indictment of the weakness of the Government's position that the best reason advanced by the Taoiseach for voting in favour of signing the treaty is that if we do not, Ireland will be frozen out in terms of access to funds in the future. We all know that the reason is the insertion of the so-called blackmail amendment. Even if the Taoiseach did not initiate that...

Turbary Rights: Motion (6 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: Like my colleagues, I am pleased to speak in favour of this motion. It is fitting that when we vote on it tomorrow night, it will be the first anniversary of the election of this Dáil. To me, that is quite fitting because what we have seen on this issue in the course of the past year is a process of democratic engagement, the likes of which has never been seen in this country. As part of...

Clare Daly: I wish to share time with Deputies Joan Collins, Wallace and Boyd Barrett.

Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (6 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: In essence we are talking about a managed default position, where the establishment throughout Europe has understood that what was posed for Greece, given the scale of the debt, amounted to a disorderly default position. It did not want to envisage such a scenario and so the debt was rescheduled in the manner before us today, with a scheme for extending the period for repayments in return...

Community Employment Schemes (1 Mar 2012)

Clare Daly: Will the Minister explain the contradiction between on the one hand, the shortening of the CE schemes and the opportunities for training for people on the lower end of the skills base who need that training and on the other hand, her drive to ensure that people with higher qualifications, such as professionals, nurses, skilled crafts people and so on, are driven on to training programmes that...
