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...

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...

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.

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

In effect, employers now have been given the green light to decimate wages and conditions and...

Clare Daly: With regard to the independence of the Judiciary being impacted somehow by this measure, that is a load of nonsense which does not stand up to any test.
