- Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2013)
Mary Lou McDonald: Yesterday, public sector workers dealt a body blow to the Government's austerity agenda with an overwhelming majority of unions saying "No" to Croke Park II.

- Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2013)
Mary Lou McDonald: Everyone knows that we have to address the deficit but the Taoiseach's approach is unfair and unworkable. There are alternatives.

- Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2013)
Mary Lou McDonald: I suggest the Taoiseach puts on his thinking cap. That was my point last night and I am glad the Taoiseach was tuned in. He clearly is averse to any sort of thinking outside the box. The Government must find €300 million and Sinn Féin has given it concrete examples of where those moneys can be raised.
