- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Cross-Border Student Access to Higher Education: Discussion (30 May 2013)
Mary White: I raised the matter of the lack of activity and neglect by the Higher Education Authority, HEA, on North-South co-operation with the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Quinn. He listened. It is disgraceful. Many years ago, Charles Haughey appointed me to the HEA so I have an interest and I know what happens there. It is quite a closed organisation in its own way. It is a pity the...

Mary White: We are in the middle of the annual carer's week, 10-16 June. Ironically, the savage respite care grant cut of €325 has come into effect. This represents a 20% cut in respite care grant aid, which carers may use at their discretion. There are more than 77,000 carers, many of whom work more than 100 hours per week without break. This savage cut proves that carers are overburdened and...

- Seanad: European Union (Accession of the Republic of Croatia) (Access to the Labour Market) Bill 2013: Second Stage (12 Jun 2013)
Mary White: I thank the Minister. I remember well the strong support given by the former Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, to Croatia's accession to the European Union during his term as EU President. This was a critical time in the process of Croatia's accession to membership of the European Union and there was fierce opposition to its accession. Despite this, however, the Fianna Fáil Government strongly...

- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mary White: As a three times elected Senator, it is my duty to uphold the principles of democracy in our little country. The slash and burn approach of the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, to abolishing town councils all over Ireland disempowers Irish citizens and centralises power in the hands of unelected local authority officials. Town councils, each...
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)
Mary White: I wish to ask the Leader if he will invite the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan to the House. I would like to have it out with the Minister about this cut to the democratic deficit. How dare he cut the democratic deficit in our little country. Fianna Fáil is opposed to this attack on local democracy and it is important to remember that...
