Leaders' Questions (14 May 2013)

Clare Daly: That is €15 million out of the pockets of hard-pressed bus workers who already have had to endure cuts. The Taoiseach has chosen to avoid the fact that choices are always available. Rather than taking money from the pockets of modestly paid workers, why could the Taoiseach not have chosen instead to tax the new millionaires who have gained extra wealth under his stewardship? For...

Clare Daly: ..., not a business case with unsubstantiated figures and to support with data and independent analysis, the assertion of savings being made within a seven year period, in view of the costs of €5 million to develop the Ashtown facility and the €2.5 million to deliver classrooms in the Botanic Gardens. [30432/12]

Written Answers — Department of Health: Tobacco Control Measures (3 Dec 2013)

Clare Daly: 391. To ask the Minister for Health the way in which he proposes to generate €5 million from increasing licence fees for tobacco retailers in view of the fact that these retailers paid a one off fee of €50 and many small operators have very tight profit margins. [51666/13]

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Air Traffic Control Services (17 May 2016)

Clare Daly: 1132. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 146 of 5 May 2016, to outline in full the "considerable, wider aviation safety and economic benefits to Ireland" he is referring to in relation to the discretionary exempting of the military of the United States of America from en-route charges, and if those benefits fully offset the loss to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Systems, Governance and Procedures in Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: ...has recognised that as a factor. What does he believe are the reasons? There are 14,000 full-time staff in the industry. How can this be squared with the fact that there is just short of €5 million sitting in a pension fund that cannot be distributed to stable staff because there is simply fewer than 1,000 people whose names have been submitted as earning an income of over...

Other Questions: Overseas Missions (18 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: ...in battle groups and the subsequent cost to the State of those ventures is something in which people are interested. Can the Minister of State explain if the reason the taxpayer has to pay out €5 million in terms of the costs of participation in missions is because they are not United Nations missions? Are they areas that come under EU battle groups which would be more covered...

Priority Questions: Export Controls (15 Jun 2016)

Clare Daly: ...on dual-use items as well. That would be the most suitable approach in our case. Most of the dual-use items exported by Ireland to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are category 5 items that are described as telecommunications and information security items. While that might sound innocuous, it can include telemetry, telecontrol and ground equipment that can be designed...

Local Government (Household Charge) Bill 2011 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2011)

Clare Daly: ...and so forth. It is really punitive legislation which is not being introduced just for this charge. However, the Minister and the Government cannot bring everybody to court. There are 1.4 million households eligible for the charge and, at best, the Minister can bring about 5% to court. We will go into the courts and defend those people. The Judiciary is not exactly flavour of the month...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Overseas Missions (13 Nov 2014)

Clare Daly: .... For example, the mission in Chad is more about furthering French economic interests than a serious attempt at peacekeeping. The question seeks to examine missions such as the Congo, where 5 million people have died due to conflict since 1996. This has been ignored by European states and others. A fully-fledged UN mission, with Irish troops participating, could have an effective role...

Departmental Agencies (9 Feb 2012)

Clare Daly: ...already has been brought before, and is at present before, the Committee of Public Accounts because of this very move, which as the Minister has noted involves the expenditure of just short of €5 million of taxpayers' money for a new facility in Ashtown of a far less superior status than the existing facility in Kinsealy. Is the Minister aware the students still will be sent to Kinsealy...

Communications Regulation (Postal Services) (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (11 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: ..., if the emergency services are not enthusiastic about them and the kinds of business the codes are supposed to make life easier for do not want them, why are we doing it? This is costing €27 million for a private multinational company, Capita, to implement. Many schools, individuals and projects would desperately want and need €27 million to engage in work or offset the...

Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: ...by this legislation, the pension scheme of thousands of workers in Aer Lingus, the Dublin Airport Authority and the Shannon Airport Authority was changed dramatically with effect from January 2015. The accrued benefit of active and deferred members has been frozen. It will never increase in the future. Deferred members saw their entitlements plummeting, devastating the expectations of...

Situation in Syria: Motion [Private Members] (5 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: ...country over recent weeks. Of course, Syria is experiencing the biggest humanitarian emergency since the Second World War, with more than 400,000 people dead, the displacement of half of its population, 6 million people internally displaced and 5 million people driven outside of its borders, a country that has gone from self-sufficiency to dependency on aid in six years. This was a...

Agriculture and Fisheries Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2016)

Clare Daly: ...Minister is obviously delighted about, but it fails to take into account that ramping up beef and milk production has serious consequences for the climate. Milk output is expected to increase from 5 billion litres to 8.5 billion litres by 2020. The Minister is on the record as saying that this means exporting an extra €1 billion worth of milk. It means increasing the herd size by...

Report on Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-2016: Statements (Resumed) (24 Nov 2011)

Clare Daly: ...open up the north side of Dublin for economic development. It is a magnificent project which would transform the lives of citizens in the area. Given that it would cost the Government only €700 million in the course of the next couple of years, it is lunacy to shelve it. I appeal, even at the eleventh hour, to have the project be re-inserted in the capital budget. Last week the...

Topical Issue Debate: Military Aircraft (29 Jun 2017)

Clare Daly: ...that claims to be neutral and we cannot shake our heads and say it is nothing to do with us when we continue to allow Shannon Airport to be used on a regular basis by the US military. On Monday 5 June, an inconspicuous US Air Force special operations aeroplane left Shannon heading for the Middle East. The C-146A Wolfhound, 12-3060, looks like a normal civilian plane but is far from it....

Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Oct 2015)

Clare Daly: ...the public sector is repeated in the private sector, is being further entrenched as part of this Bill. The TUI stated that one third of its members at second level and up to half of those aged under 35 years are in temporary or part-time employment. How in God's name can they buy or rent a house in our economy given those conditions? Many university lecturers, the people one might...

European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2016)

Clare Daly: ...which cannot be made legally. We are supposed to believe Europe will accept in exchange 72,000 refugees under a one-to-one resettlement scheme. As it stands, that equates to 2.6% of the 2.7 million Syrians in Turkey, but we all know that nothing like 72,000 will get into Europe, given that by January this year, fewer than 800 had been brought to Europe under a 2015 deal to resettle...

Bretton Woods Agreements (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (15 Dec 2011)

Clare Daly: ...they have 6.01% of the voting rights in the IMF. Under this proposal China will take a great leap forward and go from 3.66% to 3.81% of the IMF voting rights, even though it has a population of 1,500 million people. A group of 24 sub-Saharan African countries with a population of 225 million is represented on the IMF executive board by Rwanda, which has a total of 1.39% of IMF voting...
