- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2023)
Mary Lou McDonald: In anguish and despair the world watches the terrible violence and devastation in Israel and Gaza. Seared on our minds are scenes of civilians killed, wounded and taken hostage. There have been scenes of homes destroyed and entire neighbourhoods wiped out by military bombardment. Lives have been lost and shattered beneath the rubble. The scale of human suffering and the depth of grief is...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Oct 2023)
Mary Lou McDonald: The proposal to have a motion on the situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories taken without debate is not acceptable. We have had a tradition in the Dáil of working collectively and in a collegiate fashion to arrive at consensus positions when it comes to Palestine. I believe that we should maintain that.
