Covid-19 (Agriculture, Food and the Marine): Statements (17 Feb 2021)

Pa Daly: I wish to raise a couple of issues on the processing of applications and appeals by the public, many of which have been languishing for months and years, paralysing farmers and operators in Kerry and grossly affecting their income. Many constituents have contacted me regarding tree felling licence applications. I inquired about the status of one licence in July. I checked again in January...

Criminal Procedure Bill 2021: Second Stage (10 Feb 2021)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for her statement. Many of the features of the Bill are good and we will support its passage to Committee Stage. Some trials are becoming increasingly complex and lengthy due to technological advances and legal innovation. An informed, non-frustrated jury is an important part of the justice system. The provision to allow some arguments to take place pre-trial, thereby...

Appointment of Member of the Legal Services Regulatory Authority: Motion (10 Feb 2021)

Pa Daly: The Legal Services Regulatory Authority has been carrying out good work since it was established back in 2016. It is modelled on the core values of transparency; accountability; independence; protecting those who avail of legal services; protecting legal practitioners from frivolous complaints; and ensuring that justice is done and seen to be done. It has proven to be innovative, which is...

Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission: Motion (27 Jan 2021)

Pa Daly: ...an rún seo agus ní bheimid ina choinne. I wish the new appointees well. As the Minister of State said, they have considerable skills and experience and I have no doubt that they will be an addition to the board. The importance of the role of any Garda oversight body cannot be overstated, especially in light of recent events such as the death of George Nkencho in Clonee. It...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (21 Jan 2021)

Pa Daly: A statement. In order for the vaccine roll-out to succeed - we all want it to succeed - it needs a plan to deliver buy-in and trust from participants. Buy-in should be very high. The Covid-19 vaccine is likely to be the most desired vaccine the world has seen in decades. The plan should set out goals and timelines and performance indicators and all of this will build trust. If the...

Community Safety and Preventing Crime: Statements (18 Nov 2020)

Pa Daly: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire agus an Aire Stáit. I agree with the Minister 100% that the responsibility of An Garda Síochána is to keep people safe, eliminate crime and eliminate the fear of crime. It is a responsibility of everybody in this House not to exaggerate sometimes low crime figures in an effort to get headlines. In regard to eliminating the fear of crime,...

Pa Daly: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach. Cuirim fáilte roimh chách. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Darren O'Rourke as cuireadh a thabhairt dom inniu. I will direct my questions to Mr. Mulhern. Everyone knows that Kerry Airport provides important business links, but also it is an important social link for immigrant communities, particularly in the greater London area,...

Confidence in Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Motion (10 Nov 2020)

Pa Daly: ...Comhairle. In the course of a conversation with a constituent last week, I learned that it was 100 years ago, last Wednesday, since the Black and Tans had burned her grandfather’s creamery. He had to go on the run, leaving his family, with the price of £1,000 on his head. Afterwards, I received a message from her saying that her grandparents were committed to a republic, a...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Civil Service (29 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply. Coming from a rural county, I am excited by the possibilities afforded by remote working to a place like Kerry. As I said, we will be dealing with Covid-19 for a long time. I have a concern about contacting some Departments, although none of these is the Minister's Department. There is a difficulty in our office getting through to some Departments....

Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (2 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: ...; ag caint mar gheall ar an Stát go léir maidir leis an reachtaíocht seo ach ba mhaith liom cúpla focal a rá faoi mo Dháilcheantar féin chomh maith. We are dealing with the entire State here and I want to pick up on one or two aspects of what Deputy Kenny has said. It is good to see that the courts around the country have opened up in their own district...

Civil Law and Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Second Stage (30 Jul 2020)

Pa Daly: Gabhaim buíochas le Seirbhís Leabharlainne agus Taighde an Oireachtais as an report a rinne sí agus as a neamhspleáchas. I want to speak on certain applications in section 23 regarding criminal proceedings to be heard via live video link. This section was obviously prepared a long time ago, probably pre-Covid. I know from having worked in the criminal courts for some...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Education Data (30 Jul 2020)

Pa Daly: I was contacted during the week by a person in St. Finian's national school in Waterville. I ask the Minister and Minister of State to prioritise schools like St. Finian's, which has been refused access to funding to complete necessary works. An important point was made earlier on Garda vetting. It was indicated that many people have already undergone this vetting. The point is that...

Microenterprise Loan Fund (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (7 Jul 2020)

Pa Daly: I would like to express my gratitude to Deputies Pearse Doherty and O'Reilly for their speeches and for their work on these issues. I support the amendment proposed by Deputy O'Reilly. Although the Bill is somewhat welcome for the expansion it will bring in the credit available to small enterprises, it remains only a smaller part of the wider picture for businesses in these difficult times....
