Funding for students in special classes for the summer programme of the July provision had been reduced from €60 per student in 2022 to €45 in 2023 and now to €30 in 2024. The Taoiseach challenged me when I raised the issue before and he questioned the...

Mary Lou McDonald: I also extend sympathy and solidarity to the families of those precious lives that were lost in counties Mayo and Westmeath. The fundamental problem we have here is that the Taoiseach is failing to face the actual reality on the ground, which is that there is not high-visibility policing in Dublin’s inner city. It is not there. The Taoiseach cited Pride and occasions where there...

In that same time, almost 5,000 people received a conviction for...

Mary Lou McDonald: Faoi cheannasaíocht Fhine Gael agus Fianna Fáil, tá deireadh tagtha le tithíocht inacmhainne. Léiríonn an phraiseach ar Bhóthar Oscair Mhic Thréinir nach bhfuil scéim tithíochta inacmhainne an Rialtais ag obair. Is í an eagla anois nach mbeidh na cíosanna san fhorbraíocht ar phraghas réasúnta do ghnáthdhaoine...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: It does, in fact, cost the same amount to build the home, whether it is in Waterford or Dublin. The differential is the cost and the value of the land. That is the issue here, and that it is why it is all the more scandalous, particularly in the case of Dublin city, where land values and prices are so high, that the Government and the State would so thoughtlessly hand over public land into...
