EU Summits: Statements (12 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: The developments over the weekend at the Franco-German summit have raised the possibility of changes to the treaty and a consequential referendum here. I would like to put on record my disappointment with the Taoiseach's comments over the weekend that such a referendum would not be welcomed. I can fully understand that it would not be welcomed from his perspective because if there was such...

EU Summits: Statements (12 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: -----that people in this country are entitled to a referendum should changes be proposed to the treaty. I also note the Taoiseach said he would not like to see a two-tier Europe. It is a bit late for that. He may aspire to sit there as an equal, and his chair might be the same size, but he is definitely not a member of the top table. The real divide in the eurozone is not between the big...

Industrial Relations (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (7 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: I wish to share time with Deputies Boyd Barrett and McGrath. I welcome this Bill in so far as it restores the status quo that existed before the High Court ruled that the JLCs were unconstitutional, which is to be welcomed. It is necessary because, as other speakers said, although the Government has promised to introduce legislation to deal with this issue, we are still waiting. It might be...

However, we must ask what is the role of patents in society, who benefits from them and whether the position in respect of them could be better regulated. In the first instance, the figures produced by the Library and Research Service in preparation for...

Recent Developments in the Eurozone: Statements (5 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: It must be a bizarre feeling for the Minister to attend eurozone meetings and come out with a fanfare, thinking that matters have been worked out finally, only to find the crisis getting worse. Everyone knows now what the reality is across Europe. The actions of the eurozone leaders are making the situation worse. The establishment is attempting to exploit that crisis because the only show...
