Mary Lou McDonald: I put a question to the Taoiseach.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jul 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: Public land should be used for building public housing - social and affordable housing - full stop. The days of Fianna Fáil and its crony friends, the big developers, creaming off at the people’s expense should be over. I would have thought the Taoiseach would have learned that from catastrophes past but perhaps he has not. He is confirming that €1 billion will be spent...

Last week, the Taoiseach and his Government forced through an amendment to legislation dealing...

Mary Lou McDonald: 565.

Mary Lou McDonald: 571. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will commission a review into the practices and policies within the Irish prison system which resulted in a male prison guard instructing a female solicitor to remove their underwear when their bra set off a metal detector in order for them to meet with their client on an urgent matter; and if she will make a statement...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Jul 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: Will the Taoiseach inform us what the final cost of the new national children's hospital will be? Just over €1.4 billion was the amount agreed at Cabinet but it emerged today at a joint committee that, of 900 claims in total, only a handful have been settled. It now seems inevitable that costs will overrun substantially. The committee was unable to get clarity on this point from the...

Mary Lou McDonald: The Government is failing miserably with its eyes wide open. It is shameful

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: Níl sé seo maith go leor. Níl plean an Taoisigh ag obair. Leanfaidh na cistí ar aghaidh leis seo agus tá sé sin náireach. These investment, vulture and cuckoo funds have not been reined in; far from it. The Government facilitates their actions. Not alone does the Government allow them to snap up entire apartment blocks and houses, it incentivises them...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: This is about big bucks and big funds muscling into the property market with the assistance of the Government and, meanwhile, our citizens, families and communities are left with no real chance to ever buy or own their own homes. The most despicable part of this is that, tonight, the Government will sneakily move this through, using the guillotine, with virtually no debate. It is the same...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: I have made the case to the Taoiseach on countless occasions that the half measures he has introduced to rein in cuckoo funds are woefully inadequate and simply will not work. Apartments, which are perfectly decent homes, are excluded from the Government's plans. This leaves ordinary workers and families, especially in Dublin but in other cities also, at the mercy of these funds that can...

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence: Statements (6 Jul 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: I am sharing time with Deputy Martin Kenny. I asked for these statements following the publication of the annual impact report published last month by Women's Aid. I very much welcome that the debate is finally taking place. That report contained shocking detail that exposes the horrific reality of domestic abuse taking place right across the State. It revealed that the number of people...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (6 Jul 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: I have previously raised with the Taoiseach the need for the shared island unit's research funding model to be extended to include academics in both the North and the South who have a long history of shared work on policies relevant to the whole island. I welcome yesterday's announcement by the Taoiseach and the Minister, Deputy Harris, of a significant funding commitment for the North-South...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (6 Jul 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: There was a really shocking report in today's Irish Examinernewspaper that stated a complaint has been lodged with the Irish Prison Service by a female solicitor, who was instructed by a male prison officer in Clover Hill to remove her underwear if she wanted to visit her client because the underwire in her bra had set off the metal detector. The woman concerned has described how she felt...
