- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Promoting Nightlife, Economy and Culture: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: Yes, far more so in Dublin that in other parts of the country, where some of the theatres are looking for people to take a platform artistically. Mr. Sharpe is correct in what he says about the uniqueness of Dublin and the performance uniqueness of spaces is being closed down.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I wish to ask the witnesses some questions and shall start with general questions for Mr. Yeates, whom I know well. I have worked with him in the past and know him to be an excellent purveyor of the arts. Was he frustrated in having to wear one hat here when his passion is under another hat? Did the situation frustrate him greatly? I got the impression that he was massively frustrated...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I worked in the arts most of my life. I am not outside reality, neither do I think the arts are outside reality. If one went to “Death of a Salesman” one would know where reality is and where we have got it wrong. I am urgent about it because one has a start with a passion and urgency. I know Mr. Ray Yeates has both. My question to him was whether he is trying to walk both...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Will Mr. Yeates tell me who made the decision not to go ahead with the committee, be it good, bad or indifferent, relevent or irrelevent, that the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht said would be good to start with, although I am sure she did not put a gun to anyone's head?

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Dec 2019)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I would like to make two points. I have been following the farmers who have been standing outside the distribution areas of factories, conglomerates and supermarkets in the hope that they will be given a fair deal. They are still not getting a fair deal. Visas for workers with essential skills are being given to people who are going to work in these factories as animal boners, but such...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: There is nothing wrong with that. The blowing of wind has a certain verb attached to it. Senator Ruane made a very good speech on drugs. She knows exactly what she is talking about in respect of young people and drugs. The greatest abuse of the Seanad is the guillotine. It is far more abusive, in fact, than lengthy arguments or arguments which go on and go nowhere. It is an absolute...
