Order of Business (30 Jan 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: I also object to this proceeding without debate. As Deputy Kelleher has acknowledged, the committees have individually scrutinised their respective Estimates. However, it is important that the Dáil as a full body should have space to consider each and every one of them. In many cases the Tánaiste's commitment to accountability could be drawn into question. Certainly this is one...

Order of Business (30 Jan 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: In respect of the health (amendment) (No. 2) Bill, is this the legislation the Tánaiste envisages will deal with the health service provisions for the survivors of the Magdalen Laundries, including those survivors who live outside the State. There has been toing and froing between the Departments of Health and Justice and Equality on this issue and we are no clearer as to how that will...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jan 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: Am I right in thinking that they are, however, not permitted to attend the private session this afternoon?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jan 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: Thank you.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jan 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: This is reasonable and we need all the information in front of us. The HSE and the Department of Justice and Equality were quite prompt in responding to us but I notice in the correspondence from the Department that it observed responses to the audit report which had been sought have not been received from Rehab. I presume it is pursuing the matter with Rehab and should the additional...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jan 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: I do not know if we are dancing on the head of a pin. The issue is whether a record is kept of the meeting. If it is held in audio form, one can just as easily argue that the witness will expose himself to some kind of legal problem as would be the case if it was held in written form. It would do no harm to get the opinion of the witness presenting, but I hear what the clerk is saying...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jan 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: It is an Oireachtas document. Would it have the status of a committee document?

Mary Lou McDonald: That is problematic.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Freedom of Information Requests (4 Feb 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: The new freedom of information legislation is very welcome. It is a pity that the Taoiseach has decided to stick with a charge for requests. He remarked on multiple requests. Very often they are a consequence of the fact that the State charges for information, which is a great pity. When questions were asked of Irish Water, the Taoiseach made the case that it had not been fully...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Seanad Reform (4 Feb 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: I detected a note of sarcasm in the Taoiseach’s utterances about the Seanad, but perhaps I am wrong.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Seanad Reform (4 Feb 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: It strikes me that the Taoiseach, after the people administered a wallop to him, is walloping back. Perhaps the Taoiseach is telling them they wanted the Seanad and they have the Seanad. It is beyond lame for the Taoiseach to state that 35 years later, the great new dawn for the Seanad will be an extension of the franchise to include all third level graduates or graduates of higher...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Seanad Reform (4 Feb 2014)
