Jim Daly: I am not going to argue with the Deputy but we cannot flip a switch. The Deputy is comparing apples and oranges when he refers to capital and revenue budgets. He says it is €25 million, although I am not certain his figure is correct, to bridge the gap but that is each and every year. The other budget to which he referred is a capital budget for a build which is a one-off cost....

Jim Daly: ...schools and in the school system is hugely intact. This is not a statement that people do not have trust in our school system. I am referring to the minority of cases, the few occurrences not of bad apples but just where things go wrong when somebody does not do their job and the accountability to the parent in that situation, as opposed to the board of management where the principal...

Jim Daly: ...and €15 million or €16 million per year is being spent on GALs, who are unregulated and unaccounted for. In any language, that is wanton waste.

If a student decides to take the oral examination he or she will be awarded 40% of the marks for doing so but a student...

Establishment of Independent Anti-Corruption Agency: Motion [Private Members] (8 Dec 2015)

Jim Daly: ...of the references during the debate to the "RTE Investigates" programme. RTE trawled through details on every single politician, councillor, Deputy and Senator, and came up with a couple of bad apples. Given that everybody is presumed innocent, I will not take anybody's character in this forum. I am very proud to be part of this profession. If we, as practicing politicians, do not have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Remit of Ombudsman for Children in School Complaints: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)

Jim Daly: ...for the voluntary nature of boards of management, the time commitment and dedication from us as parents is enormous. It is voluntary, but the issue I am getting at is that there could be a bad apple in the bag of a hundred. Grievances carried by parents are difficult to listen to, and they feel frustrated.
