Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Jul 2011)

Clare Daly: It appears as though Fianna Fáil does not seek to have this Bill passed through all Stages before the Dáil rises for the recess but rather through Committee Stage only. In that sense, anything that might come out of it would not take effect until the autumn in any case and could not offer additional protection to workers formerly covered by the JLCs and employment regulation orders, EROs....

Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Jul 2011)

Clare Daly: The High Court decision that the JLCs were unconstitutional represents an extremely serious attack on workers who already were highly vulnerable. Statistics were provided during the last debate on this topic that showed the enormous number of breaches that take place in these sectors in any case. In effect, employers now have been given the green light to decimate wages and conditions and...

Commission of Investigation Report in the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne: Motion (Resumed) (20 Jul 2011)

Clare Daly: If this was the first report on clerical child sex abuse, it would be tragic. The fact that it is one of many indicates the scale of the horror our society has allowed to continue for far too long. I do not believe it is something that would be tolerated or would have happened in any other country. It is a legacy of the privileged position of the Catholic Church and the manner in which it...

Residential Institutions Redress (Amendment) Bill, 2011: Second Stage (14 Jul 2011)

Clare Daly: The background to this change in the legislation is the fact that the State has spent upwards of €1.8 billion on the victims of abuse at the hands of the religious orders in schools and institutions. It is somewhat ironic that we are having this debate against the backdrop of the publication of the Cloyne Report. It is true that a considerable amount of money was expended to produce this...

Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011 [Seanad]: Second Stage (12 Jul 2011)

Clare Daly: I am sharing time with Deputies Halligan, Boyd Barrett, Joan Collins and Finian McGrath. Like the other speakers I believe this Bill represents a tidying up of a diverse range of areas, many of which are welcome and non-controversial but a number of which do not go far enough and represent somewhat of a lost opportunity. I will comment on a number of those. The first is the area of human...

It is, it continues, "central to our longer term economic recovery – not something...
