Programme for Government: Motion (15 Mar 2011)

Clare Daly: The programme for Government that we are discussing shows quite clearly that while the election results returned one of the biggest changes in political representation, in fact, it yielded one of the most negligible changes in policy. It is somewhat ironic to sit here and listen to Fianna Fáil ochón the broken promises of Fine Gael and Labour when, in effect, those broken promises are the...

European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2011)

Clare Daly: It is important the Taoiseach is cognisant of and serious about these issues before he attends the European Council. He said he would not go into too much detail, which is unfortunate, given this is a feature of the Government's approach to many issues. Time is running out, however, and there is an expectation among the population that he will return from the meeting with more than the...

Situation in Libya: Statements (24 Mar 2011)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State, Deputy Creighton, will live to regret the points she made about this intervention being a success. We can return to that at a different date. With the mounting civilian death toll, the genuine hopes of ordinary people in Benghazi and Tobruk that the no-fly zone and military intervention would assist them in defending the revolution and protect their interests are fast...

Programmes for Government (29 Mar 2011)

Clare Daly: When I asked the Minister for his priorities, I was hoping for something more substantial than the generalities that appeared in the programme for Government. I was hoping for an indication of a real plan to deal with the crisis of almost 500,000 people who are unemployed. The Minister did not mention the shovel-ready projects referred to in the programme for Government. Clearly many...

Social Partnership (30 Mar 2011)

Clare Daly: I note the Taoiseach's lip service or aspiration to the idea of partnership. Will he comment on the fact that against that backdrop and as we meet here today there is a scenario where bin workers, employed by one of the Government's local authorities, South Dublin County Council have been informed unceremoniously that as and from this Friday their trucks will be given to a private company...

Moriarty Tribunal Report: Statements (Resumed) (30 Mar 2011)

Clare Daly: I want to take the opportunity to make a couple of comments on this disgraceful episode in Irish corporate and political life, which clearly exposes the link between big business and politics. It was laughable to listen to Deputy Martin this morning trying to goad the Taoiseach about the close relationship between Fine Gael and big business. Perhaps he was a bit jealous at how good Fine...

Universal Service Charge: Motion (Resumed) (30 Mar 2011)

Clare Daly: It was sickening to hear Government Deputies crying ochón about the hardships faced by ordinary people who are the victims of this charge while condemning them to a review which will be completed at some point in the future. Everybody knows the universal social charge was the last Government's great Robin Hood in reverse tax. It took money from the poor in order to give it to those at the...

Communications Regulation (Postal Services) Bill 2010 [Seanad]: Second Stage (31 Mar 2011)

Clare Daly: This is the final phase of the opening up of the postal service to market competition. It is quite clear that the agenda here is to allow the private companies enter the market and provide services which previously were exclusively the remit of An Post. What is wrong with An Post providing that service on its own? What potential benefit is there if, on Monday, a postman comes into the area...
