- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Firearms and Offensive Weapons (Amendment) Bill 2021 (28 May 2024)
Pa Daly: That is okay. I will just ask a few questions then. I understand Deputy O'Callaghan's point about sending a strong message from the Oireachtas on knife crime. My only concern is how effective it is going to be. I have a couple of questions. Does he know what percentage of cases are dealt with on indictment because usually when they are dealt with on indictment, there would be another...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Firearms and Offensive Weapons (Amendment) Bill 2021 (28 May 2024)
Pa Daly: To reiterate, the point is that when the maximum penalty was increased, it could not be dealt with on indictment until 2009, if my memory is correct. Mr. O'Neill will probably be able to tell me. That does not seem to have had the desired effect. It would be my concern that the number carrying knives has increased rather than decreased. The intention behind the penalty, reducing the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Scrutiny of the Firearms and Offensive Weapons (Amendment) Bill 2021 (28 May 2024)
Pa Daly: Maybe we should be focusing our attention on youth work, the closure of youth centres and investment in communities, as much as on this. I do remember the cases that were dealt with while we were in the conference centre. Certainly, there was a charge of murder in one of them.

- Dentistry Services: Motion (22 May 2024)
Pa Daly: I thank the Social Democrats and Deputy Shortall for bringing this motion. It typifies the lack of attention and lack of care of the Minister that he is not here to address this. If I thought he was away negotiating with the HSE or working on a dental Bill, that would be one thing, but we can be sure that he is not. The state of dental services, particularly for children and the elderly,...
- Housing for All: Statements (Resumed) (21 May 2024)

This week alone, I dealt with a woman from west Kerry who could not afford housing in Dingle because much of it costs approximately €350,000, a couple from Kerry whose rent had doubled over the past four years, a woman who had been on the housing list for 16 years and was living in a small room...
