Clare Daly: ...provider by the IPO as a consequence of the problems with the forms it had translated? What proportion of the money was withheld? I presume the Department will not use the company again. Immigration consultants have made an appearance in this area. We are told that a number of former GNIB officers have set themselves up as immigration consultants to advise undocumented person on how...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: ...centre stage in that regard. Many of the issues raised have not been adequately addressed. For example, what role will the Garda play? We know that many people are highly vulnerable from the point of view of immigration status. They are also highly vulnerable to further exploitation and threats. For example, 70 complaints were made to GSOC from sex workers about gardaí attempting...

Clare Daly: ...of its role in respect of refugees. It was a bit sickening to listen to the Taoiseach talk about Irish emigrants when he said, "The British Government is fully aware of our concerns and of the unique status of the Irish community in Great Britain over very many years." He spoke about the best interests of the Irish people living in and moving to the UK. I have no problem with the Irish...

An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht 2014: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 May 2015)

Clare Daly: ...gives us a legal right to an abortion but it just says that we have to have it outside of our waters. The only people then who cannot have it are people who are too poor, too sick or of precarious immigrant status. The eight amendment stands as a monument to our hypocrisy. That is all it is. It is an unbroken thread to the Magdalen laundries, symphysiotomy and other such practices. ...

Clare Daly: ...because Ireland's abortion rate is comparable to that in every other country. The attitudes of Irish people have moved on and the Government is out of touch. The result of all this is poor women and those with a precarious immigration status in the country cannot exercise the constitutional right to abortion. That right says women can have abortions but not in Ireland and those who are...

Clare Daly: ...did so was very much in the context of the tragic Y case that occurred over the course of the summer, which was another verification of how our laws mean that it is poor people and those of vulnerable immigrant status who pay the price for this amendment. The delegates decided we could not wait for the next Government and we should take on board and avail of the facility afforded by the...

Industrial Relations (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (7 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: I wish to share time with Deputies Boyd Barrett and McGrath. I welcome this Bill in so far as it restores the status quo that existed before the High Court ruled that the JLCs were unconstitutional, which is to be welcomed. It is necessary because, as other speakers said, although the Government has promised to introduce legislation to deal with this issue, we are still waiting. It might be...

Clare Daly: ...improves or disimproves that position. While it is welcome that the victims of trafficking are getting a chance to access legal advice in regard to the State's prosecution of traffickers, as the Immigrant Council of Ireland has stated, in not providing them with legal representation the legislation falls short of what is necessary if we are to truly deal with this scenario. The victims of...
