Pa Daly: Justice policy is an area where there is increasing harmonisation across member states. Ireland is one of only two common law jurisdictions in the EU, the other being Cyprus. As such, we need to examine proposals in depth given the unique application of the law in this State. While scrutiny of EU legislation is the remit of the justice committee, this debate is important. Before turning to...

Health Service Funding: Motion [Private Members] (24 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: I support this motion. I condemn the Government, the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the leader of the Green Party for their reckless decision to underfund the health service in budget 2024. I have listened to what the Minister has said and it all sounds great. All the while, a new community hospital is opening up in Killarney that will not provide one extra bed because the other beds are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe chuig an gcoiste. I have a question for Mr. Riley. Why did he pick a timeframe of six months?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: Cuirim fáilte roimh gach éinne anseo. They are all very welcome. I sense the frustration from all four of the groupings present.

I note what they said in relation to other issues, such as the Garda band, which we, in Tralee, would know well, and what they said in relation to travel and...

Pa Daly: I hear about gardaí saying that they feel they are not being listened to by management and so on. Does Ms Cunningham feel, given what she has been saying about the reserve regulations and promotion regulations that are coming in, and the lack of engagement from the Department, that gardaí are being listened to by the Government?

Pa Daly: I compliment the O'Farrell family for their dignity and determination to find the truth about what happened to Shane and the lead up to those events. Having met Lucia, Hannah, Gemma and the rest of the family a number of times, I know the depth of their knowledge and insight is matched only by their commitment to their quest for justice.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Healthcare Provision and Healthcare Professionals: Discussion (17 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: Two things stood out from what Dr. O'Shea said. In his submission to the committee, he said he was not advocating for dementia to be included in the legislation as a qualifying condition at this time. Does that mean he is open to including it at some stage? He also said he wanted to adopt a conservative approach initially. Does he mean that is what he wants initially with it being...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Healthcare Provision and Healthcare Professionals: Discussion (17 Oct 2023)

Pa Daly: I have a question that Professor Landers or Dr. Colleran might answer. One of the recommendations made by Irish Doctors supporting Medical Assistance in Dying is that a regime should be applicable to individuals over the age of 18 with a progressive, incurable and terminal illness. It has been stated that a definition of "terminal illness" will need to be specified in order that it would...
