Marie Moloney: It would be a game of Russian roulette.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Impact of Social Protection Payments on Income Distribution: Discussion (21 Jan 2015)
Marie Moloney: On that point, a self-employed person who loses his or her income and approaches the social welfare system to sign on will be allowed to receive jobseeker's allowance. However, one will not receive a credit towards contributory pension. There is an anomaly in this regard that hits the self-employed and, in particular, self-employed persons on low incomes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Impact of Social Protection Payments on Income Distribution: Discussion (21 Jan 2015)
Marie Moloney: I would like views on an issue I have raised previously but it seems to go under the radar.

Marie Moloney: I have loads of stuff I could mention to the Minister.
- Seanad: HSE National Service Plan 2015: Statements (20 Jan 2015)
Marie Moloney: I wish to mention the shortage of nurses. I received a letter from someone who owns a nursing home. He or she cannot get agency nurses because agencies are contracted to the HSE which means private nursing homes cannot employ nurses. Such nursing homes cannot bring in nurses from outside the country because nurses must complete an adaptation course before taking up work here. I know that...
- Seanad: HSE National Service Plan 2015: Statements (20 Jan 2015)
Marie Moloney: The shortage of nurses will cause mayhem and, again, that refers to the point made about nurses not paying an increased registration fee. I am sure we do not have a backup plan to deal with the shortage of nurses and I ask the Minister to intervene in the matter as quickly as possible. The people of this country have paid over and over for the mistakes of others. It looks like these nurses...

Marie Moloney: I welcome the Minister to the House and it is great that we are having such a debate on problems in the health service straight after Christmas. I acknowledge the good points in the service plan and welcome many of the proposals but we all have issues that we would like to be addressed as well. I welcome the proposal to implement free GP care for those under six years old. How are the...

- Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Dec 2014)

- Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Dec 2014)
Marie Moloney: I welcome the Minister to the House. While I did not have an opportunity to speak on Second Stage yesterday, I will not make a Second Stage speech. Like the Minister and many Senators, I have received abuse on social media and via emails, etc. That is part of what we do and we must accept it when we put our names on ballot papers and sign up for public life. I listened intently to...
