Mary White: I support what Senator Colm Burke said, namely, that our priority issue on resuming after the summer recess should be that of unemployment. I remind colleagues that despite the general improvement in employment, we have 19.8% youth employment. That is a very serious issue.

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2015)

Mary White: We need an urgent debate when we resume after the summer recess on the issue of the burgeoning incidence of crime throughout the country. There must be a community response to it.
