Clare Daly: Question 372: To ask the Minister for Social Protection if she will address the situation which has reached crisis level in the central rent unit in Santry, Dublin, due to the fact that staff have been let go with no provision in place to deal with the volume and backlog of rent allowance claims; if she will allocate sufficient resources to the rent unit to enable it to fulfil its role; and...

Prison Committals (5 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: As someone who spent one month in the Dóchas Centre in Mountjoy Prison, I, too, express my solidarity with Teresa Treacy and condemn the decision of the ESB and EirGrid to pursue her in this manner. There is no doubt that the blame comes back to the Minister's door. To have State agencies acting in the manner of bully boys against an elderly, law-abiding, tax-paying citizen is absolutely...

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...

Closure of Army Barracks: Motion (Resumed) (5 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: I wish to share time with Deputy Mattie McGrath.

Closure of Army Barracks: Motion (Resumed) (5 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: There is no doubt that it is a little cynical of Fianna Fáil to table this motion and wax lyrical about the further closure of Army barracks when the party stood over the destruction of 11 barracks in the last decade of its reign. However, that is not an excuse to allow this Government to deflect attention from or escape responsibility for this serious attack. I oppose the closure of more...

Order of Business (6 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: Yesterday the Minister for Finance said the Bill dealing with the issue of fiscal responsibility would be before the House sometime before Christmas. Will the Tánaiste give us a more definite date? This is the Bill to deal with the six-pack governance measures passed by the European Parliament earlier this week which will have a major impact on the workings of the European Union. Also,...

Patents (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (6 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: I have no reason to oppose the legislation. The reduction in the translation costs relating to patents is welcome and eminently sensible. 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...

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...

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...
