- Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 Nov 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I am not disagreeing with Senator Crown. I hate to disagree with him, the man is a medical genius. However, I have some concerns about this amendment and I cannot support it. However, I think the Minister of State should certainly take on board the point made. We may be talking about the question of training opticians in a different way. We may have to introduce a different code of...

- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Local Authority Funding (18 Nov 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I appreciate the Minister of State was only reading out a reply provided to him. It claims the debts have not been caused by the financial model used to fund local authorities. Who wrote this ridiculous statement? It takes no cognisance at all of the points I made regarding the legacy position which has caused much of the local authority's debt. In some way, this reply treats Sligo County...

Marc MacSharry: I look forward to hearing the latest chapter in the water debacle later today. I understand that yesterday in the House, there was some querying as to my involvement in protests in this regard. Consequently, given that I was absent yesterday, it is only appropriate that I point out to Members that I was present at some of the protests in recent weeks. However, I condemn absolutely all the...
