Mark Daly: Thank you, Senator Conway, for your kind words. I think most people will have forgiven me for that recall but, as you said, it was in relation to this. At the time, the first Bill on organ donation in the history of the State was by way of a European Union Bill we adopted, adapted and amended, but not in the same way as others. This is the second organ donation Bill in the history of the...

I thank him for the consultation and listening to the previous organisations and groups, including the Irish Kidney Association.Most especially, he listened to those who are on the organ donor list and are awaiting a life-saving, life-transforming transplant. Many of them are, unfortunately, taken off the list because they become too sick to receive an...

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: I just wanted to clarify. We had this discussion the last time and there was a lot of back and forth between officials. The overall purpose of the committee is to have the statutory instruments. Are we now saying that there is a commitment to give us the draft statutory instrument? I know it says in a timely manner, but we will be getting the draft statutory instruments?
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: Okay. That is a fair point. On the contribution made, there were three directives which your note informs us were laid before the Houses by the Oireachtas in line with procedure. That is not the new procedure. The new procedure is that the draft statutory instruments should have been sent to this committee and then sent on to the sectoral committees. Then it is up to them what to do with...

Mark Daly: Yes, absolutely. Can I get clarification on something? I understand the Minister of State's point that we have the draft statutory instruments but they still have not been referred to the committees. This should be done as a matter of urgency. There is no set deadline or timeline as to when statutory instruments will come to us from Government Departments. I know we are at the early...

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: We will tease this out in our processes but I am concerned about the statutory instrument relating to emissions reductions targets for the aviation sector. Was there lobbying in relation to that? Clearly that is a sector that would be concerned about lobbying because there would be financial implications for the airline industry here. We also have a large number of aircraft leasing...
