Mary White: Good man.

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Nov 2010)

Mary White: As spokesperson for children on this side of the House, I draw my colleagues attention to an article in yesterday's The Irish Times by Jamie Smyth in which he stated that during the first nine months of this year 13 children under the age of 16 years were admitted to adult psychiatric beds in our hospitals. It is totally against the human rights of children that they would be admitted to...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Nov 2010)

Mary White: Not alone are the children open to risk but the nursing staff are not trained in treatment of children with psychiatric problems.

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Nov 2010)

Mary White: I draw the attention of the House to a speech made by Mr. Seán O'Driscoll from Drimoleague in west Cork at a conference of other Irish chief executives. He was stinging in his criticism of politicians but also of business leaders who took their eye off the ball.

Seanad: National Paediatric Hospital: Statements (17 Nov 2010)

Mary White: In regard to Senator Fitzgerald's comment on the controversy about access, I would want my child to be treated in the best facility at the best location, as supported by the evidence. It is not edifying to see access being used as a political football. Hospitals are located cheek by jowl in every city in the world. The Government's priority is to provide the best standard of complex...

Seanad: Death of Member: Expressions of Sympathy (17 Nov 2010)

Mary White: I am honoured to express my sorrow and empathy to his beautiful wife Mary at the shock that she must have got that morning when we heard here the news with disbelief. It is sad that one must walk in the shoes of another person for seven miles before one can experience his or her pain, but I say it to Mary in very humble words. It is sad for Delia to lose her son. I thank Delia, who I met in...

Seanad: National Recovery Plan 2011-2014: Statements (24 Nov 2010)

Mary White: As the Taoiseach said today at the launch of the National Recovery Plan 2011 to 2014, it is about being optimistic for the future of our country. Wearing my business hat, unless we are optimistic about the future of our country, it will remain stagnant. Currently, the media and the Opposition are doing everything in their power to make us out to be a country with no hope, which is having a...
