Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Lusitania Museum and Related Matters: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I do not say it as a criticism; I am saying that the genius of the project is not being recognised. One can never tell people long and loud enough about the really great, creative things being done nationally by voluntary organisations, one of which is the witnesses' organisation. The witnesses could put their heads together and ask how they are going to let everyone in Ireland know about...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I congratulate the OPW on the wonderful restoration of this room. I hope our intellectual prowess and argument can parallel it. However, I do not particularly like the front door to the building. It reminds of a funereal door, into a very modern undertakers. We have lost the clink and clitch of the mahogany door and I have written to the OPW, and to the ushers, about it. Our own room...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Sep 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I spent the morning listening to the Irish Medical Organisation, IMO, make its pre-budget submission. What it had to say is quite frightening. This morning, many Senators spoke about hospitals and primary care centres in their areas and they spoke about the health of their communities, villages and towns. We need to start taking the IMO very seriously, especially what it is telling us...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Sep 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: No, the Senator is not multitasking at all. This place is supposed to be one where people speak and are listened to and there would be reflection, discourse and argument. One might even change one's mind because of what one heard across the House. One might believe something to be true but when the facts were presented on the floor of the House one might change one's mind. We might as...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I wish to reiterate Senator Conway's remarks. I was the main speaker on holding history as a core subject in 2015. I cannot believe that the Senators are all congratulating themselves. It was an appalling decision by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, NCCA, which was capitulated on by the great Labour and Fine Gael Government. It actually thought about it. It was one of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Oct 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank Senator O'Reilly as his incantations and exultations are well heeled. I was educated in County Cavan so I echo everything he said. Anything that can put Cavan even more on the map is fine by me since it gave me a great education and a great sense of articulation. I thank the Senator for all he said about Cavan. I know how fond of iPads and iPhones my colleagues are - for very good...
