Clare Daly: ...and their families. The problem really needs to be fixed. Will the Minister update us on the backlogs of visa, citizenship and asylum applications? In that context, with reference to the direct provision system, there is talk that Hatch Hall in Dublin will be closed. I believe the residents have been told that they need to be out by the end of the year as there are other plans for the...

International Protection (Family Reunification) (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Dec 2018)

Clare Daly: ...are real. One relates to a Syrian who came here. By the time he found his daughter – she was a 19 year old – he could not bring her here because 12 months had elapsed. An African woman in direct provision was there for so long that one of her daughters was 20 years of age when she went to make the application. Her younger children would not come because they did not want...

International Protection (Family Reunification) (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Dec 2018)

Clare Daly: ...She talked about a father who spent months frantically trying to track down his daughter, only to find out he could not apply because the 12-month limit had passed. We know of the people who spent years languishing in direct provision. If that was not bad enough, we have had the added trauma that as a consequence of the delay of those in direct provision getting their status, parents...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund: Motion (5 Dec 2018)

Clare Daly: ...purposes broader than relocation? It is great that 85% of the refugees, who are mostly Syrian, who came here as part of these programmes have been housed. However, there are loads of people living in direct provision who have been given their status but cannot leave because they cannot secure housing. Can the money be provided for such work rather than enriching the private owners of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund: Motion (5 Dec 2018)

Clare Daly: ...benefits for communities by adopting a positive approach, particularly when there are worrying developments in Ireland such as a growth in racism and certain elements fuelling hatred around the direct provision system. When Syrians arrived in Monasterevin, the attention given to issues such as integration, English lessons and acclimatising to a new culture worked, and it prepared the...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: ...Minister, particularly on amendment No. 34. I heard what the Minister said about the emergency provisions, and I get that in the case of a woman escaping a domestic violence situation or a woman in direct provision a doctor can state it is an emergency, that the woman clearly does not have the ability to return within the time and that he or she will make a call under the emergency...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: ...over the 12 weeks. I am particularly worried and I would hope the Minister would say how he envisages the situation of a woman in a domestic violence scenario or one who is coming from a remote direct provision centre is to attend the second appointment after three days. The Minister kind of led us to believe on Committee Stage that section 12 might be used to waive the waiting period...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: ...the timely use of personal health services to achieve the best outcomes for all women, regardless of their geography, economic status or other factors. What we should say in the Title is that people with disabilities, those in direct provision and those in any form of incarceration must be guaranteed access, and this is not mentioned currently. They should get the same care and it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Immigrant Investor Programme and International Protection Applications: Discussion (11 Jul 2018)

Clare Daly: ...hugely problematic. I accept that a number of answers have already been given. However, some of my questions are new and others touch on points raised by previous speakers. In terms of asylum and direct provision and the points made about backlogs and so on, one could be led to believe that we are dealing with gigantic numbers. In reality, they are actually tiny. Between 2008 and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Immigrant Investor Programme and International Protection Applications: Discussion (11 Jul 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Immigrant Investor Programme and International Protection Applications: Discussion (11 Jul 2018)

Clare Daly: ...which have been made for Syrians? I refer to the accommodation provided in Monasterevin where they get to know Ireland, learn English and meet people. It is an integration centre, rather than direct provision accommodation. Should we not make the same provision for family reunification? It seems bizarre that we do not. What happens when the 12-month period runs out, as it appears it...

Clare Daly: 231. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality his views on the humaneness or otherwise of the system of direct provision here in which vulnerable refugees are kept for years in cramped and inadequate accommodation, deprived of cooking facilities and provided €21.60 per week to live on in view of his condemnation of the US policy of separating children from their...

United States Immigration Policy: Motion (20 Jun 2018)

Clare Daly: ...to discuss the inhumanity of US immigration policies. On World Refugee Day, when thousands of migrants are sitting rotting in detention centres all over Europe, when thousands of migrants sit in direct provision here, down the road, when migrants are being delivered back to rape, torture, imprisonment, extortion and kidnapping in Libya-----

Select Committee on Social Protection: Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (17 May 2018)

Clare Daly: ...are moneys that should have been paid by their employers. It is absolutely appalling. If we factor in the Supreme Court decision, which correctly and finally has led to a scenario where people in direct provision are allowed to access the labour market, we know the Government put in an interim scheme which means that somebody has to get a job with pay of €30,000 in order to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Access to the Labour Market for International Protection Applicants: Discussion (9 May 2018)

Clare Daly: I wish to raise one point about cases when people are not allowed to stay in direct provision and this outcome is linked to the €20 payment. Has the Irish Refugee Council ever questioned why somebody who is not in direct provision is not entitled to that payment?

Clare Daly: ...;600,000 allocated to the Policing Authority should instead be given to GSOC to allow it to do the job that it wants to. The points have been made about that already. I have three quick questions. First, on direct provision, the Estimate for 2018 seems to be the same as the spend for 2017. Is that because the Government expects the same numbers of asylum seekers or is it the case...
