- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage. (10 Dec 2002)
Mary White: I had not intended to speak on this issue today because I am not adequately prepared. Having worked in the National Building Agency for 14 years, I recognise some of the points made by Senator Finucane have validity. However, I would not blame density for the social behaviour of some tenants. I am appalled that practically 15 years later Senator Finucane, as a county councillor, cannot assert...
- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage. (10 Dec 2002)
Mary White: I am delighted to hear Senator Finucane raising the matter. He should exert his opinion with local authority architects in County Limerick that he does not want architects who believe people should live in a particular way. He has it within his power to get housing schemes appropriate to Newcastle West. As far as I can remember, some NBA houses were built in Newcastle West. Senator Finucane...

- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage. (10 Dec 2002)
Mary White: In 1977 the then Minister, Mr. Jimmy Tully, issued an edict that local authority houses should have gardens and dividing walls and not be open plan. It is within the mandate of local authority officials to have housing schemes appropriate to their area. I recommend that Senator Finucane assert his own authority.
- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage. (10 Dec 2002)
Mary White: If the Senator wants me to, I will help him. I designed a housing scheme in 1977 which the people living in the private housing scheme rejected because it looked like their housing scheme, not look like a local authority housing scheme. I accept there is an issue, but the Members in this Chamber are elected representatives and should give local people the housing they feel is appropriate to...

- Seanad: National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage. (12 Dec 2002)
Mary White: I am praising the Leader. It is clear to me from every session that both sides of the House are delighted to have a Member of the calibre of Senator O'Rourke to lead the House. She does her job vigorously and makes the Seanad dynamic and exciting. I get bored if matters are not moving fast, but she sets the pace and makes them exciting. I compliment Senator Henry on tabling this amendment....

- Seanad: National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage. (12 Dec 2002)
Mary White: Women occupy a particular role in business. Generally speaking, they do not have the macho style which is the traditional approach to running a business. They bring their own instinctive qualities to bear, qualities which are different from men's. In my business we were acutely conscious of having a feminine and maternal relationship with our employees. We did not get on with everyone all the...
