- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Oct 2018)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I also welcome the Charleton report. It is excellent. I agree with Senator Diarmuid Wilson on the victims left behind at times like this, including Maurice McCabe. The former Minister was also in the victim category, although not at the same level. It was very interesting for me to note how women are capable of rounding on other women and bringing them down. I found that fascinating,...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: It is not a case of toning down.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Creative Ireland: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I welcome Tania Banotti as the new director of Creative Ireland. I have known her work for the past 20 or 25 years and congratulate her on getting this job, and I congratulate both Departments for being perceptive enough to give it to her. She will play a very distinctive role and make a distinguished career and contribution to the arts in other forms of creativity and imaginative...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Creative Ireland: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: Yes. I am getting bowed down in the Doric pillars and what is what and where is what. Perhaps Ms Banotti might answer that and put our minds at rest. Perhaps somebody might write down what Creative Ireland is. We know what it is individually but we do not know what it is relative to the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht or the Department of Education and Skills. I agree...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Creative Ireland: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I vehemently disagree with a point Mr. Moran made. Unless we give credence to the arts for children from the ages of nine, ten and 11, which we have not done for many years, and then from the ages of 14, 15 and 16, people will not take up the arts. In terms of young people being able to choose, be it a language or a passion for music or for visual arts, the Department should be far more...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Okay.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Creative Ireland: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: The programme has not done that yet. I was asking a general question about there being obvious fits. The programme is being allocated a great deal of money for being an all-Government programme, which is right, and it would have an influence on Departments, on the way they do business, communicate or present matters to the public.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Creative Ireland: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I ask that the witnesses keep in communication with us because that is something that falls apart. Will they let us know about interesting projects which are being done through the auspices of Creative Ireland in schools or such? We will go as an audience or to see the work the witnesses are doing. It often becomes non-physical when we are not there.
