Clare Daly: ...those individuals. There is a far more urgent need to legislate for a judicial council than for this commission. It is not good enough that we are rushing this through.

Other Questions: Animal Breeding Regulations (25 May 2017)

Residential Institutions Statutory Fund: Motion [Private Members] (24 May 2017)

Clare Daly: ...with many of these cases, would have great sympathy for the case outlined by Deputy Michael Healy-Rae because those types of stories are ones with which she deals on a regular basis.
