Prison Visiting Committees (22 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: I appreciate that the Minister has said some of the practices are unacceptable and that is important. However, there is a contradiction between what was stated in some of the visiting committees' reports and what was stated subsequently by the Irish Prison Service. Will the Minister, therefore, examine the idea of publishing the findings of the internal investigation into the incidents...

Order of Business (22 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: I want to know why the Taoiseach cannot advise us on a timescale for the promised legislation to deal with the judgments in A, B and C.

Mental Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: There are many issues about which we can make the criticism that there is a lot of talk and not enough action.
