- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Unlicensed Money-Lending) Bill 2013: Second Stage (22 May 2013)
Marie Maloney: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I was not scheduled to speak tonight. When I saw that the Bill was scheduled to be debated I decided to add my voice here because it is such an important issue. I may not always agree with Senator MacSharry but I give him great credit for bringing the matter into the political arena. Moneylending exists, whether we like it or not. I spoke...
- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Unlicensed Money-Lending) Bill 2013: Second Stage (22 May 2013)
Marie Maloney: Senator Bacik mentioned codifying crimes. I encountered the same problem when I tabled a motion two weeks ago. There is no crime in Ireland of domestic violence or for illegal moneylending. I hope that the Minister will take on board the words and sentiments expressed here today. If he is not going to accept Senator MacSharry's Bill then I urge him to consider it and incorporate the...
- Seanad: OECD Review of Irish Pensions System: Statements (15 May 2013)
Marie Maloney: I ask the Minister to return to the House as quickly as possible. Let us have a long debate on this issue. I hope she will be able to put time aside in her diary to discuss the subject in the House. We really need to debate it in full.
- Seanad: OECD Review of Irish Pensions System: Statements (15 May 2013)
Marie Maloney: I second that.
- Seanad: OECD Review of Irish Pensions System: Statements (15 May 2013)
Marie Maloney: I assure the Senator I will not be doing that, grandchildren perhaps but not children. I welcome the Minister who, as always, is welcome. The report which all Members have read suggests all citizens should take out a private pension policy to supplement their State pension in years to come. This, of course, is because people are living longer which is most welcome, but the flipside is...
- Seanad: OECD Review of Irish Pensions System: Statements (15 May 2013)
Marie Maloney: Self-employed persons cannot even access credited contributions. I believe the Minister will address this issue because she has stated they will be in receipt of a reduced pension on foot of this fact. I must skip much of what I intended to say because, as Senator Jillian van Turnhout noted, this is only a five minute contribution. We need a longer debate on this issue. I have much to say...
- Seanad: Domestic Violence: Motion (8 May 2013)
Marie Maloney: We have had a fantastic debate. Everybody who spoke has a great grasp on what domestic violence means to families around the country. We all know domestic violence wreaks havoc in families on a daily basis in Ireland, but often slips off the political agenda. It is, without doubt, a silent crime and a taboo subject. Often people do not want to speak about it. The Minister of State...
- Seanad: Domestic Violence: Motion (8 May 2013)
Marie Maloney: I move: "That Seanad Éireann:-- notes the incidence of domestic violence in Ireland and the devastating consequences that it has for both the individual victims and survivors and for the wider society; -- notes and commends the immense work being done to support victims and survivors of domestic violence by many State and non-governmental organisations; -- commends the Minister for...
