Fishing Industry Development: Statements (23 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: Sustainability is a major issue but we must consider who benefits from it. The discussion is somewhat lopsided by the fact that we are straitjacketed within the Common Fisheries Policy. I agree with the Deputies who said this has been an absolute disaster for Ireland and that we must examine our fisheries completely rather than tinkering with quotas within the confines of that policy....

Fishing Industry Development: Statements (23 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: The discussion must be seen in the context of the depletion of the fishing resources and the destruction of fishing communities. There are serious issues which are clearly problems for society but not confined to Ireland.

The repression he imposed and the global economic crisis kicked off the revolutionary process earlier this year...

Foreign Conflicts (23 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: It is too early for the Minister of State to use Libya as an example. It is interesting that he says Egypt can determine the pace of its transition when different criteria were set down in the case of Libya. Western imperial powers stood back and propped up President Mubarak during the years to allow him to use brute force on his population and the West did not care as long as its interests...

Commercial Rates: Motion (Resumed) (23 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: I support the proposal in the motion that commercial rates should factor in the profitability of firms, particularly small and medium-sized firms, as opposed to the current ridiculous system where rateable valuations derive from what a premises would fetch if it was rented. That is ludicrous. It is difficult to rent properties at the moment but rates have no link with the activities on a...

Report on Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-2016: Statements (Resumed) (24 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: I agree with Deputy Patrick Nulty. The cut in the capital infrastructure programme represents a gross missed opportunity. However, the Deputy has a neck to make these points, as he is a member of a party which is in government and responsible for the axing of the metro north project, among others. If he was serious, he would make a stand like Deputies Naughten and Penrose and vote against...
