Mary White: I am not referring to anyone. I am talking in general terms about extreme left-wing ideology.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Low Pay and the Living Wage: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Mar 2015)
Mary White: I set up a business to increase employment, and I am not ashamed to say I never heard of profit. My drive was to create employment. I do not believe our country will go anywhere if we have an extreme position of cynicism. We are talking here today about small and medium-sized Irish companies. That is the reality, and we must face facts. I do not know anybody who wants to be ruthless and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: An Action Plan for Jobs 2015: Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (10 Mar 2015)
Mary White: It is appropriate to congratulate the Minister on the great achievement in increasing employment levels. There is an inherent problem in terms of attitudes towards foreign direct investment and indigenous industry. We have had considerable success in developing indigenous industry, creating jobs and so on and it should be made clear to the rest of the world that this is as important as...

- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Mar 2015)
Mary White: I draw attention to a comment made last week by the esteemed leader of the country who expressed sadness about the impact emigration had had on people's lives. He said: We also want people to be able to come home. Emigration has a devastating impact on our economy as we lose the input of people of talent and energy. We need these people at home and we will welcome them. I want to see...

Mary White: Go raibh maith agat. As my colleague has already said, Fianna Fáil will support the Bill. I thank the Minister and the officials in his Department for the information provided for this debate. This most reassuring aspect of his speech is the fact that the Department was aware of the situation and had prepared for this potential finding of the court of appeal. However, the whole issue...
- Seanad: Succession (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (11 Mar 2015)
Mary White: Words fail me. I am privileged and honoured to hear Senator Quinn taking this issue where it should be solved, namely, in the Houses of the Oireachtas. I am overwhelmed. If I may be religious, it is pure and true Christianity to help this family in trouble. They have suffered so much. As stated in the explanatory memorandum, the assertion that a person should not be allowed to profit...
- Seanad: Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015: Second Stage (24 Mar 2015)
Mary White: I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak on the Bill in Seanad Éireann today. It is without doubt the most important and groundbreaking reform of child and family law for a generation. Irish families are far more complex today than our legislation recognises and this Bill will modernise the law regarding the parental rights of children living in diverse family forms. The Bill...
