- Seanad: Mental Health Services: Statements (29 Apr 2015)
Mary White: I welcome the Minister of State. As Senator John Gilroy said, we have absolutely no doubt about her genuine commitment to her portfolio. However, the Minister for Health, Deputy Leo Varadkar, and the Minister of State have a major job to do to live up to the 1916 Proclamation. I have said on numerous occasions that I do not regard Ireland as a true republic. In particular, in the area of...
- Seanad: Mental Health Services: Statements (29 Apr 2015)
Mary White: Our policy would greatly enhance the role that our schools and colleges play in the area of mental health. I am a bit cynical about the Minister for Health, Deputy Leo Varadkar.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: The Creative Economy: Discussion (21 Apr 2015)
Mary White: The delegates are most welcome, especially because they work on the periphery of the country. I am very impressed by their creative vision, with which I was not familiar. It reminds me of the Kilkenny Design Centre. When it started, it was very sophisticated and there was a Nordic influence on the artists involved. The problem is that the products are not expensive enough for a real...
