- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jan 2013)
Mary White: I will be as succinct as possible. It is a tragedy that the trafficking of women has been mixed up with the issue of prostitution because they are two entirely separate issues. Every discussion of prostitution becomes emotional and immediately strays into the areas of trafficking. This is seriously hindering efforts to find a solution that addresses the needs of female, male and...
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Jan 2013)
Mary White: In 2008 I published a policy paper on what we could do to deal with the issue of suicide in the new Ireland. At the time there was no doubt we had a very high rate of suicide among young men. The economic crisis has had very serious consequences for young people, particularly young men who cannot find employment and have financial difficulties. There is a serious level of stress among men...

Mary White: SUSI is a disaster.

Mary White: I wish to raise again a matter about which we spoke yesterday, which is suicide among young men. In 2011, 525 people died from suicide. I ask the Leader to think of the reaction if an airplane crashed in Ireland with 525 people on board. What would be the Government's reaction? It would wipe out a village. This is happening on an annual basis and my research indicates that the figure is...

Mary White: Make no mistake, there is a national crisis of suicide. The rate of suicide has increased due to a lack of employment for young men and other people. Mental health stress has increased substantially because of the economic situation and particularly because young people do not have jobs. When I co-founded LÃr Chocolates in 1987, I saw the transformation in a person who got a job. The...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Belfast Protests: Discussion (24 Jan 2013)
Mary White: The way Mr. Roberts is speaking, it is appealing and enticing. I love everything about Belfast city, including the atmosphere. Is he doing anything about PR?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Belfast Protests: Discussion (24 Jan 2013)
Mary White: This committee is totally supportive of Mr. Roberts getting the same rate of corporation tax. It would be fully beneficial to the whole island. If there is anything we can do to help Mr. Roberts on that, we will do so.

- Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2013)
Mary White: This morning I want to raise a serious issue in the country, which the nation is talking about non-stop and which the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe has brought to the fore. I call for an urgent independent review of the Garda SÃochána. Judge Conroy conducted an independent review of the Garda SÃochána in 1970. The cuts in the number of Garda stations, the cut in the number...
- Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2013)
Mary White: This is an important point. Top-class Garda sergeants are the front-line officers who know what is going on in the community and they need to manage the resources under them so that the Garda on the beat or on patrol knows what is his job to do. I believe this is not happening. The resources are being badly managed. Finally, I want to put on the record what was stated by Fr. Michael Cusack...
